American rapper Cool C has been scheduled to be executed on Thursday, January 8, for the murder of a police officer in 1996.
The Philadelphia rapper was convicted of first degree murder for the 1996 killing of a police officer, Lauretha Vaird, who had attempted to botch a bank robbery operation by the rapper and his crew.
The former Atlantic Records rapper was sentenced to death for his crime and was originally scheduled to be executed on March 9, 2009 but was granted a delay by the then Pennsylvania Governor.
It has however been announced that the rapper will be executed by lethal injection on January 8, 2015.
Cool C is perhaps best known as a member of C.E.B., a 1980s Philadelphia Hip Hop group who was considered a Liberty City version of Juice Crew. In 1989 Cool C released his debut and highest acclaimed album I Gotta Habit, which contained the single "The Glamorous Life," a Billboard-charting record and Juice Crew diss.
