He was the dude back in the day had the track, Glamorous Life. His execution warrant was signed yesterday:
Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell signed the execution warrant yesterday for former Philadelphia rapper Christopher "Cool C" Roney.
Roney, 36, is currently an inmate at Pennyslvania's State Correctional Institution at Greene and is set to die by lethal injection on March 9.
In October 1996, Roney was found guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of Philadelphia police officer and nine-year veteran Lauretha Vaird during a botched January 1996 bank robbery that included rap partner Warren "Steady B" McGlone and a third man.
Vaird was Philadelphia's first female officer ever killed in the line of duty.
While McGlone was convicted as an accomplice and getaway driver, later receiving life in prison, prosecutors asserted that Roney was the triggerman and sentenced him to death.
The sentence was affirmed by the state's Supreme Court a year ago, and a subsequent plea to the U.S. Supreme Court was denied in October 2005.
Roney was a member of rap crew The Hilltop Hustlers in the late 1980s and helped put Philly rappers on the map with singles such as 1989's "Glamorous Life."
Later, Roney formed the short-lived group C.E.B with Steady B.
