We hope Meek Mill hasn’t gotten his hopes all the way up just yet.
We learned of Meek Mill being sentenced to 3 to 6 months in jail earlier in July due to a parole violation. MMG’s Rick Ross and even Karen Civil stepped up to the plate trying to clear the air about the sentencing revealing that Meek would only be doing about 3 to 4 weeks. However, it seems both parties were wrong and possibly didn’t know just how serious the situation was.
Meek’s lawyers filed a petition Thursday asking for an emergency hearing within three days, in hopes of freeing the 27-year-old rapper however, Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley – who originally sentenced Meek – said her court schedule would not allow her to hold a hearing until September. According to defense attorney Christopher Warren, Brinkly also rejected a request to allow another judge to hear the case.
“All I’m asking for is a hearing to learn why [his jailing] is constitutional and they won’t even give me that,” said a frustrated Warren said yesterday.
Warren and fellow attorney Dennis Cogan, who is also representing Meek , are taking the next legal step come Monday morning. The attorneys will file for a writ of mandamus, which means a higher court would force Brinkley to hold an emergency hearing at an earlier date. Warren admits that this was the last thing he wanted to do but says they have no choice. We’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available.
