Although Meek Mill won’t be getting out of prison soon, his appeal process may have just been expedited.
The Pennsylvania Superior Court denied an emergency motion for bail — typically considered a last-ditch effort for criminal defendants — by Meek’s team on Tuesday (November 28) but the Dreamchaser founder’s team also received some good news. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the appeals court ordered Judge Genece Brinkley — who has been scrutinized for her handling of the case — to rule on a bail petition filed two weeks ago “without further delay.”
The ruling was made just hours after Meek’s representation filed the motion. The petition criticized Brinkley’s lack of response to Meek’s appeals, though the judge legally has 30 days to respond.
“As of this filing, more than 10 days after submission [Brinkley] has taken no action — not even to schedule a hearing — on any petitioner’s motions, and in particular not on the bail motion,” the motion for emergency bail order reads.
While Meek isn’t walking free, his path to freedom has become clearer. The Wins & Losses rapper’s attorneys were pleased with the developments.
Lawyer Peter Goldberger, who was hired due to his expertise in appellate law, said, “This is good news.”
The Superior Court’s order for Brinkley to rule without delay will allow Meek’s team to make some progress in the case. Meek can’t appeal his conviction and sentence to the Superior Court until Brinkley makes her decision on the bail petition that was made two weeks ago.
Meek is currently in prison after receiving a two to four-year sentence for violating his probation. The sentencing has been widely criticized and led to a rally in Philadelphia, prompting a prison visit by civil rights activist Al Sharpton. The case also inspired JAY-Z to pen an op-ed for the New York Times.
“Lawyer Peter Golddigger”….*cough* I mean Goldberger
Good work. We must always point out the (((enemy)))

Poor Meek bout to have his booty plundered in prison.
Lawyer Goldberger ain’t no christian or a muslim. I’m just gonna leave it at that.
Here’s a great piece of advice to avoid situations like this and being left looking like a complete dumbass.. If you’re on parole you’re basically walking on a tightrope between freedom and prison. All you gotta do is not do any dumb shit for that length of time and you’re good. Of all people Meek should know this as he already been in this situation before, what a fucking idiot smfh.
People spend 30 yrs or more for crimes they didnt do. Fuck people talking about a Cocky FOOL doing dumb stuff for Album sells… Musicians sell they freedom for a Dollar and a Fake Rep, Just like Females sell they body for a Tv Show or A Headline. I am not Entertained. Its just pathetic that people nowadays don’t see a “Shit From A Bull” What songs can you listen to from this artist 5 yrs from now and say it was a classic? Are even listen too? O ok… Cardi B made a single but she just pop out because music at the moment is Weak. If im not mistaken, She was in Porn before anything. Not a Stripper. A Porn Girl, getting hit left and right by Everybody. Research it.That’s Why she dont wear condoms bk in the day. People create a past life like they was living sucluded before they did a new Move.
u sound dumb as hell.. so u want him to do 30years too..lmao!! that has nothing to do with this case.. its an injustice period! How many white people do that 30years u r talking about? what will stopping a fight or doin a wheelie do for your sells? lol! u r hating blindly… the sec u brought up cardi B u just went garbage juice..! u ain’t saying nothing sensible at all
Intro – dreams an nightmares…..das a classic say no more !!!
Drake fan’s.. thought we been through this already.. y’all back to hating even after your idol said free that ninja!! lol.. ninjas that do time without commiting a crime have no money to afford a lawyer.. if u want justice, u need an expensive lawyer, simple! The guy did nothing to deserve 2-4 years form minor cases that were both dismissed.. what part of dismissed or misdemeanor don’t y’all get? if he assaulted some 1 or got caught with drugs etc that would warrant that type of jail time n no1 would come to his aid, but lookin at the actual violations.. stopping a fight at an airport n poppin a wheelie ain’t something that should send u away for that long.. that’s injustice.. that’s why so many big names n the hiphop community as a whole have been speaking out..! Don’t let hate cloud your thoughts.. get your minds right…!!!
Hey reality. You said money can save you from being wrongful convicted, and if your broke then thats your fault. U like sucking on anouther Man. Btw I dont listen to Drake or Meek or Ross or Wayne. Its has nothing to due with music or race. And if you wanna kn what i listen too, 8 ball MJG UGK, Kurupt, E.S.G., B.Gizzle, L.O.G. , DMX and KOKANE AND BIG HUTCH. FAR AS MUSIC I LISTEN TO THE ISLEY’s and BOBBY BLUE BLAND. RAP AINT SHIT BUT A SAMPLE BIG DUMMY. GOD BLESS
