Cool C
Philadelphia rapper Cool C, who made noise in the late '80s and early '90s with singles like "Glamorous Life," was given the death sentence for his role in the death of a police officer during a 1993 bank robbery. His execution was originally set for 2006, but it's been on hold since then. An accomplice in the crime was fellow Philly old-schooler Steady B, who's serving a life sentence.
