Meek Mill’s bid to be released from prison has been struck down. Judge Genece Brinkley, who has been heavily scrutinized for her handling of the Dreamchasers founder’s probation violation case, rejected his request for bail on Monday (April 2).
“Defendant received proper notice of all alleged probation violations in advance of his hearing,” she wrote in court documents obtained by the New York Daily News. “The sentence imposed was not manifestly excessive and this Court stated sufficient reasons on the record to support a state sentence of 2 to 4 years.”
Judge Brinkley also refused to recuse herself from the case amid allegations of bias against Meek. The judge specifically denied claims she asked him to give her a shoutout in a song.
“This bald allegation has no basis in reality,” she wrote. “There is zero evidence to support this claim. The court has repeatedly told Defendant that he cannot demand special treatment just because he has chosen to be an entertainer.”
Meek’s lawyers have already filed a petition to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in an effort to get their client out of prison. The legal counsel believes Monday’s decision confirms their allegations of bias against Judge Brinkley.
“This ruling from Judge Genece Brinkley simply reaffirms the fact she has turned Meek Mill’s case into a personal vendetta,” Meek’s lawyer Joe Tacopina said in a statement to Philadelphia’s CBS 3.
The judge’s ruling comes after a report revealed Meek’s original arresting officer, Reginald Graham, was on a list of allegedly corrupt cops who were part of a “Do Not Testify” roster. Following the report, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said he was unopposed to Meek being released on bail. Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf came out in support of the “Dreams and Nightmares” rapper’s release as well.

That judge is crooked as fuck.
“Hold up wait a minute, y’all thought I was finished?”
Bruh you cold asf for this one hahahaha
LOLOLOLOL MMG HOLD THIS L!! WHATS THE POINT OF SIGNING TO A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER IF HE CANT EVEN GET YOU OUTTA JAIL
JUST DO YOUR MOTHAFUCKING TIME LIKE A REAL MAN & STOP CRYING LIKE A BITCH!!!
JUS WAIT , MEEK FINNA BE OUT AND BACK ON TOP AGAIN IN NO TIME . DRAKE CANT KEEP HIM DOWN 4 LONG
Just remember folks Meek Mill violated terms of his parole on numerous occasions or are we gonna just gloss over that important fact and just scream the Judge is crooked and has it in for Meek? At some point accountability has to come into play. I’m a fan of Meek Mills but I’m not going to jump out the window and say crooked judge if basically the terms of parole states STAY OUT OF TROUBLE for x amount of time. What is so hard of doing your scheduled performances/radio sit downs, get your money and then go the fuck home until such violation has expired. Its that difficult to do?
This is grossly over used but….FACTS. I think most people are more upset that he got 2-4 years for riding a bike and for the airport thing that he was cleared of. But like you said…do your shows/appearances/interviews and move with a small circle until you’re in the clear…not that damn hard. But I’m not a rap superstar so ??♂️
He should have never went to jail in the first place and now he still being persecuted by a corrupt judge. In case you didn’t know the DA has state that his arresting officer was dirty and that is original case is going to over turned……..so why keep him in jail, I will tell because it personal and she can……
I maybe wrong but doesn’t the DA supersede the judge and if so why hasn’t the DA get he/she involved in Meeks case and get these false charges dropped? I get your point but if your Meek and you know the system is trying to fuck you over on any small infraction then why give them any type of ammunition to use against you? Some of this shit Meek caused on himself. Stop trying to displace blame. Majority of this is Meeks fault
Fuck Da Law! #FreeMeekMillz
Naw, the Law Fucked Him… Meek should know better. Take this L Meek.
This is definitely personal with him and Judge along with karma. How he did the OG Mack Mittens…
Doesn’t really matter if he violated his probation if the initial charges were false. Those “violations” would only amount to small misdemeanors, not years in prison like Meek has been sentenced. Meek should absolutely get bail until the justice system sorts through its own gross corruption. If the original charges truely were bullshit then what real obligation does Meek have to follow the terms of his probation? Peaceful resistance is an honorable form of protest. The people on here saying Meek should stay locked up at this point are cosigning the police/judicial corruption that puts innocent men behind bars on a daily basis.
A lot of “ifs”
awww
It’s muthafuckas dying from cop shootings that don’t get a shout out on rap albums who family got no justice. And then we have this pussy crying for violation of probation getting shout outs and support.
He’s an ass. Let me sit for 2 years. We have better people to figjt for.

No meeka you’re not getting out of this that easy, you fuckin dumbass. Stop whining and do ya time f.aggot.
Why do I get the feeling that the judge is a Drake stan?
Drake stans still mad Meek Exposed the 6Fraud. You know that judge a drake stan. She trying to make sure Meek do the full 4 years.
The thing people are not looking at is judges don’t like to be removed and they stick together which is rare that you see a judge over turn another judges case I don’t the next judge would just keep her ruling the same
Free the young king.. Crooked cops n
a corrupt judge wan keep the king in.. But the biggest burdens r placed on the strongest people.. Meek will come out stronger.. Its already in the 6th month n it ain’t like he ain’t been there before. Drake stans r mad salty but wait until drake has to do time or pay detail for setting him up.. That’s a way more serious offence than popping a wheelie #facts
