C-Murder Sued For Teens Death

• Corey Miller, the rapper known as C-Murder when
  he shot and killed a teen-ager in a Harvey
  nightclub, was found liable for the youths death
  Tuesday. The ruling came in a lawsuit filed
  against Miller by the parents of the late Steve
  Thomas, 16, of Avondale.
• Miller, 42, of New Orleans, is serving a life
  sentence in prison for second-degree murder in
  the Jan. 12, 2002, killing at the now-closed
  Platinum Club in Harvey. Delores and George
  Thomas filed the wrongful death lawsuit in March
  2002, about a week after Miller was indicted by a
  Jefferson Parish grand jury. They sued Miller,
  the Platinum Club and its owner, Travis Mumphrey,
  and Millers record label and apparel businesses.
• The couple seeks unspecified damages. A trial
  date, to determine whether and how much Miller
  must pay Thomas parents, has not been set.
• On Tuesday, however, Judge Glenn Ansardi of the
  24th Judicial District Court found that Miller
  bears civil liability. The ruling was expected
  because Millers attorney Roy Maughan Jr. of
  Baton Rouge, did not challenge liability. Because
  Miller was convicted in the criminal case, a
  civil jury would likely reach the same conclusion
  in deciding civil liability, said Maughan, who
  did not attend Tuesdays hearing.

  to connect with Catholics worldwide, the Pope
  will start relieving punishment for your sins via
  social media.
• According to the Vaticans Sacred Apostolic
  Penitentiary publication, Pope Francis will be
  giving plenary indulgences which is a special
  act that is said to reduce time in purgatory to
  his Twitter followers. The Pope typically offers
  indulgences to those who see him in person, but
  for the first time this year, it will extend to
  virtual visits, too.
• The decision was made as the Pope gears up to
  visit the World Youth Festival in Brazil next
  week. The Guardian is reporting Catholics will be
  able to follow the rites and pious exercises
  that the Pope will do in Brazil online.
• For social followers who have previously
  confessed their sins, have been absolved by a
  priest and have attended mass, they can follow
  along live through the social networking site and
  receive that special forgiveness. Users must
  follow the events live to participate.
