Embattled rapper Meek Mill may be a free man soon. Meek, real name Robert Williams was sent to jail for a probation violation against the recommendation of the prosecutor and his probation officer. The ruling caused a firestorm of controversy over rogue judge’s and issues with the judicial system over all. Now, his team is back trying to get him out of jail and immediately!
Per HNH
According to Complex, Meek’s attorneys have filed an emergency petition for an Original Writ of Habeas Corpus. The filing took place at the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, asking that the rapper be released on bail. In a section titled “Grounds for Immediate Release on Bail,” his lawyers wrote the following: Williams is an excellent candidate for bail pending decision on his post-sentence motion and, if necessary, pending appeal. He has no remedy to enforce this right effectively except to petition this Court for the extraordinary relief of an emergency writ. Since being convicted in one case as a teenager more than a decade ago, he has suffered no new convictions, and has not engaged in other criminal activity. He does not present any danger to the community. He has matured, become a responsible
father, acquired a profession in which he has excelled, conquered a drug habit, and generally been rehabilitated.”
This news comes on the heels of word that the selfie king himself, Rev. Al Sharpton, visited Meek Mill in prison over the weekend. Sharpton added his name to the growing list of Meek supporters while speaking at the National Action Network headquarters in New York. “I think this is about an injustice that is representative of many young men of color that face an abuse of a probation or parole system,” he said. “This is not about an artist. This is about a system.”
Now his fate is back in the hands of the system.
