Meek Mill has been granted a new hearing in a Pennsylvania court next month amid questions about the judge's impartiality — a legal victory for the rapper, whose case involving decade-old drug and gun convictions has become a focal point for critics calling for criminal justice reform.
"In light of the District Attorney's recent filing, where he supports the granting of a new trial to Meek and the recusal of [Common Pleas Court Judge Genece Brinkley], we hope to have this injustice rectified once and for all," attorney Jordan Siev said in a statement.
In addition, the office of District Attorney Larry Krasner has also had issues with Brinkley, writing that her court"abused its discretion" when it imposed the sentence against Mill and she herself has unfairly"assumed the role of investigator" in his case after checking in on him at a homeless shelter where he was doing community service.
