Man Accused of Witness Tampering in C-Murder Case
According to allhiphop.com, the murder trial of C-Murder has taken another twist as New Orleans authorities have verified records of a man pleading guilty last year to obstruction of justice.
According to nola.com, authorities are accusing Dwayne “Wango” Cobbins with witness tampering. The 35 year old New Orleans native is alleged to have tampered with trial evidence by “threatening to use force to influence one or more persons,” resulting in “the hindrance, delay or prevention of the communication to a peace officer of information.”
C-Murder, real name Corey Miller, was convicted in September 2003 of murdering 16 year old Steve Thomas at a Harvey nightclub in 2002.On appeal, C-Murder was granted a new trial when his attorney Ron Rakosky revealed evidence confirming that prosecutors withheld the extensive criminal backgrounds of their three witnesses.
At press time, the courts have sealed specific information detailing Cobbins’ alleged tampering activity.However, records have confirmed that Cobbins has an extensive criminal background dating back to the early 90s.
He was arrested in 2002, and sentenced to nine years in prison for attempted conspiracy to distribute cocaine between 1991 and 1997. Also, Cobbins pleaded guilty in 2006 to narcotics charges and was sentenced to 15 years.
Previously, Cobbins was booked for attempted murder in 1993 and murder in 1995. Both charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence.At the time of his 2002 arrest, court records show Cobbins had in his possession a TRU records gold medallion from C-Murder’s label.
At press time, C-Murder could not be reached for comment.

The 90’s was great era for hip-hop but it was equally great for R&B. Many acts have come and go since then, but the foursome of Jagged Edge has seemed to have staying power. Since their dropping their debut single "The Way That You Talk" back in 1997, JE has been a regular site on the R&B scene. 
C-Ride is used to the spotlight, even if you’re not used to his name yet. The Florida representor has been a staple of the Epidemic Music/Polo Grounds team for years now. After making a name for himself on the underground, he’s ready to make his presence known in the mainstream.
"I aint never left the scene! I’m always grinding." Bold words like that are normally served for underground artists still trying to get their buzz up.
