Earlier this month, Meek Mill was sentenced to 3 to 6 months in county jail. While rumors had it the rapper might remin incarcerated only for a few weeks, latest update points out that Meek will not be given a hearing until September. His legal team already filed a petition for an emergency court date yet the request has been denied by Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley.
All I’m asking for is a hearing to learn why [his jailing] is constitutional and they won’t even give me that,” said Mill’s attorney, Christopher Warren, yesterday.
The judge stated that no such hearing could be held until September. Warren and fellow attorney Dennis Cogan plan to file for a writ of mandamus, in which a higher court would request Brinkley to hold an emergency hearing at an earlier date. Stay tuned for an update.
