Kim Kardashian is aiming to free rapper C-Murder from his life sentence.
As the 39-year-old reality star has become a force in the world of criminal justice reform, she is now working to free the brother of Master P who is serving a life sentence for the 2002 killing of Steve Thomas.
Since his conviction, the 49-year-old rapper (real name Corey Miller) has maintained his innocence and many believe he is the victim of multiple missteps during the case's investigation and his trial.
Beauty and brains: Kim Kardashian has become a force in the world of criminal justice reform and is now working to free the brother of Master P, C-Murder (born Corey Miller), who is serving a life sentence for the 2002 killing of Steve Thomas
In addition to her 18 hours of legal work each week, Kardashian has made some serious steps after beginning her four-year apprenticeship with a San Francisco law firm in 2018.
Over the weekend, the aspiring lawyer used her massive social media platform to shine a light on his case.
'On January 18, 2002 a tragedy occurred when a young man was killed. The next day Corey Miller was arrested for the murder,' she tweeted to her 66.4 million followers with the hashtag, FreeCoreyMiller, on Sunday.
She explained: 'The jury convicted Corey 10-2 and he was sentenced him to life in prison. If his trial was today, the jury would have had to be unanimous for him to be convicted.'

'Since his trial, witnesses have recanted, new evidence of his potential innocence has come to light, and there are claims of jurors being pressured into voting to convict. True justice for the young man requires that the person who actually killed him be held responsible and that Corey Miller he returned home to his kids,' she continued
The KKW Beauty founder also included a message to the family of Thomas, who was killed, at only age 16-years-old.
'My heart goes out to the family of Steve Thomas. I can only imagine how hard this is and my intention is never to open up this painful wound but to help find the truth behind this tragedy,' she wrote.

Kardashian has previously visited the White House to discuss criminal justice reform with President Donald Trump and worked to grant clemency to Tynice Nichole Hall, Crystal Munoz and Judith Negron.
Famously, she helped influence Trump's decision to enact the First Step Act last January and brought nation-wide attention to Alice Marie Johnson's case.
