(Newser) – New Orleans rapper Corey "C-Murder" Miller has been found guilty of murdering a 16-year-old fan, the Times-Picayune reports. The teen was shot during a nightclub brawl in 2002. The rapper—who changed his stage name to C-Miller after the incident—was convicted of the killing in 2003 but a mistrial was later declared. He will be sentenced later this week for both the fan's murder and the attempted murder of a nightclub owner in 2001.

those who like rap of course, inclusive of eminem . i forgot that by monkeys some of you mean a derogatory term to design black people. well now i think i have to do the Cartman apology: «i don't hate black people. i hate the hippies» where substitute hippies with rap music. please dont label me as racist. still i don't see the good in music without real melody, glorification of violence and gangster stars.

New Orleans' Problem: How to Stop All the Murders

City officials trying new programs, but will they work?

(NEWSER) - Choose nearly any line from a New York Times article on murders in New Orleans, and it will depress you: By late last month, the city had seen 175 homicides in 2011—the same as the total number for all of the previous year—and there have been eight more since then. The homicide rate was 10 times the national average in 2010, when there were 51 murders per 100,000 residents. (Compare that to seven per 100,000 in New York and 23 in Oakland.) "From September of last year to February of this year, a student attending John McDonogh [high school] was more likely to be killed than a soldier in Afghanistan," said the mayor recently. Though New Orleans has long been known for its violence, the homicide rate has been rising since 2000 and city officials are struggling to stem it. Making things particularly difficult is the corruption in the police department. Residents "do not trust the police," says one activist. More»
