Cool C whose government name is Christopher Roney, served 18 years in prison after being convicted of first degree murder in October 1996. The now 44 year old Philadelphia rapper was attempting to rob a PNC bank but it resulted in the death of a cop named Lauretha Vaird. Steady B, also a member of his rap group C.E.B., was his assistant at the time of the crime. He too is serving a life sentence but for second degree murder.
March 9, 2006, was the original scheduled date of his execution which was to be given by lethal injection. The governor of Pennsylvania delayed it to January 8th 2015. For those who forgot, Cool C was known for “The Glamorous Life” and for his Juice Crew diss song.

he should be let free police killing niggas everyday and getting away with it
It’s funny how they quick to do this to him. When there are Folks like Charles Manson Stlll alive not getting Executed. Do ya’ll recall how many people he killed. Never mind the fact there are cops that kill youth especially Black youth on a almost everyday Basis. But this is the Judicial system right. It was obviously not made to be fair. Yes this is B.S. at its finest.
Unfortunately Charles Manson never did any of the killings himself, hence why he didn’t get the death penalty. That guy should have been gone. Smh
I agree with you wholeheartedly though regarding him being executed. There are people who have done way more heinous crimes and not only are they not being executed, many are getting years only and hitting the streets again.
