Though C-Murder is currently serving a life sentence the rapper's son still has faith that his father will return "home" by the end of this year.
While not going into full detail, Young Trump said his father is currently still working on his appeal.

"Right now he's in Louisiana, he's working on his appeal right now, some new lawyers have picked up his situation," Trump revealed in a late January 2009 interview with radio personality EI8HT. "I can't really speak on the situation too much, but he should be home by the end of next year though. For sure. I talked to him like everyday. Everything's good, he gives me good advice, told me to come into the game as a bully and do my thing." ("Street Disciplez Radio")

The rapper recently updated fans on his well-being behind bars.
"I'm holding up pretty good here at Angola [State prison inLouisiana]," C-Murder wrote in a letter. "I work out regularly and participate in all sports leagues. Of course I hate it, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. Life is short and the time you waste in jail can never be replaced. I'm asking you guys to take heed to my situation and better yourselves to live a positive and productive life." (All Hip Hop)

Former No Limit Records artist Mystikal recently spoke on Murder's legal woes.
"I haven't had a chance to speak with Master P since I been back though," Mystikal told DJ Whoo Kid in an interview. "I ain't get a chance to holla at him yet. I hollered at C before his "case" went the way it did, you know. We gonna see if we can work on that too, I can't let him sit in there like that. He still got some breathing room, he got a little fight left in him." (Radio Planet TV)

Master P spoke with SOHH last fall about his brother, C-Murder, doing time behind bars.
"Your image can get you incarcerated and take a lot of things away from you," P explained. "I think he realizes that right now and he definitely will be fighting an appeal but it takes times. It might take two to three years. He's innocent from his crimes, everybody knows that but that goes to show you how your image and all the stuff from your past -- it makes others think 'Oh, you know this guy's name is C-Murder, so he's guilty.' They don't even look at, 'Oh you wasn't in the club, you didn't pull the trigger.' Man, your image can really describe your life."
