C Murder Wants To Postpone His Trial

Master P, I mean, P Miller's brother, Cory 'C Murder' Miller wants his murder trial postponed because he fears the judge has it in for him because it's an election year.

Her opponent is using the new trial ruling to accuse the incumbent of being soft on crime. Jury selection was to have started yesterday.

Now Dexter's filed a suit against Bernice because he wants their mother's personal papers for a 1.4 million dollar book deal he cut, but Bernice is refusing to hand them over, insisting her mother wanted no part of any book deal. Bernice and Martin issued this statement: "We are saddened that we are forced to make public statements about family matters that should be handled privately.

Although she is no longer here to speak for herself, it is important that the integrity and validity of her voice be reflected."
