Meek Mill's 2008 conviction has been thrown out & he is granted a new trial
A Pennsylvania appeals court has thrown out rapperThe unanimous three-judge opinion Wednesday grants the rapper born Robert Williams a new trial because of new evidence of alleged police corruption.
The Pennsylvania Superior Court also overturned the trial judge’s parole violation findings that sent the entertainer back to prison in 2017 for five months.Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office has said it will not call the police officer who was the sole prosecution witness because of new doubts about his credibility.
This positive outcome wouldn't have been possible without the support of my family, my attorneys, JAY-Z, Desiree Perez, Michael Rubin, the Philadelphia District Attorney's office and my supporters who have stood with me through the ups and downs. Unfortunately, millions of people are dealing with similar issues in our country and don't have the resources to fight back like I did. We need to continue supporting them.
REFORM Alliance's co-chair and Philadelphia 76ers co-owner, Michael Rubin, echoed Meek's sentiments. "I'm thrilled for Meek that the Superior Court granted him a new trial and, for the first time in his adult life, he's no longer on probation and has no criminal record. Time after time, I've watched the criminal justice system railroad Meek, but through it all, he's handled this adversity with extraordinary strength and poise. But the fight isn't over - there are still millions of people unfairly trapped in the legal system.
