Rapper Meek Mill scored a big legal win on Wednesday after the Philadelphia district attorney filed documents with the Pennsylvania Superior Court calling for a new judge and a new trial for his case.Doesn’t mean I win ... but that is great news!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
“We are very pleased that the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office has confirmed to the Superior Court that Meek is entitled to have his conviction vacated," Mill’s attorney, Jordan Siev, told ABC News."The brief is also significant in that it marks the first time the DA has publicly outlined in writing that it supports Judge Brinkley’s recusal based on her ‘appearance of partiality’ and ‘public perception of unfairness and bias.
While at the shelter, the filing states that Brinkley saw Mill"bagging clothes" rather than serving food, and considered this a violation but did not notify his team. When the rapper attempted to explain himself at a hearing, the judge countered"with her own observations," according to the DA’s filing, which alleges that Brinkley “inappropriately” played"the role of both decision maker and fact witness.
After Mill's release from prison in April 2018, his request for a new trial was denied in June. However, with support from the district attorney's office, the could change.
