New York radio veteran Angie Martinez is out here dishing big Meek Mill updates. The hip-hop personality has come forward to speak up on the jailed rapper’s situation after he had another bail request shut down in court this week.
Early Wednesday, Martinez shared footage of herself talking about Meek getting singled out by his judge and having to wait 60 days before having a chance to seek out a bail request.
“I was up at Roc Nation earlier and I spoke to one of the lawyers on Meek’s team. So here’s what happened in court yesterday. They have uncovered that the cop that put Meek away is dirty. He has a dirty record, he’s done foul things, questionable things and the DA that knew it then has got locked up. So they uncovered that. So not only does it question Meek’s original charge, it questions the charge of 82 people who were also put away because of this dirty cop. So what happens was, Meek goes to court, his team, to say not only should he not be in here for these small violations but he should not be here at all because the cop who put him in here is dirty and you guys know it and the DA has agreed to it, the new DA now so he shouldn’t be in here and this whole case should be thrown away.” (“The Angie Martinez Show”)
Martinez also revealed Meek’s why this Friday could become a huge day for Meek supporters.
“The judge said, ‘We’ll have to have a hearing to decide.’ She schedules that for 60 days from now. So he has to wait 60 days so he can go through this again. Now there’s 83 cases that are now up for trying to figure out what’s going on here because of this one cop who put all these people away. So all these people go on Friday. All of the cases, I think 83 in total, 82 of them go sit to this other higher judge. They will go on Friday to see if their cases will get thrown away. Everybody are speculating that a lot of these people are just gonna walk on Friday but not Meek. He’s the only one of the 83 that has to go back to the original same judge in 60 days to review this all over again. So Meek’s team has now put in an emergency motion to go to a higher court to say this is crazy. Even the DA is saying this cop’s dirty. You can’t keep people inside and they only reason they’re there is because of this one cop. There are other things like if they got caught with 20 keys and the cop, then they might still be there. But if they’re only there because of this cop, then we have to look at this. That’s what I got today. So Friday it’ll be interesting to see because all of those other cases go to the judge, the other judge, not Meek’s personal judge. Everybody but Meek goes to another judge to see if they get overturned. Prayers up for Meek.” (“The Angie Martinez Show”)
A few days ago, Judge Genece Brinkley shut down prosecutors’ attempt to have her toss out a past conviction during Meek’s hearing.
Philly’s D.A. Office made a rare move Monday morning in court … asking Judge Genece Brinkley to toss the 2008 conviction because it says prosecutors back then were fully aware Meek’s arresting officer, Reginald Graham, was dirty — but sat on the info. If the conviction were tossed, that would mean Meek’s probation violation would go out the window, too — and he would be released from the Pennsylvania prison where he’s serving 2-4 years. However, Judge Brinkley did not sign off, and, instead, scheduled a hearing on the matter for June. That means Meek has to sit in prison until then … at least. (TMZ)

In a new interview, Meek’s ex-girlfriend Nicki Minaj addressed his stint and revealed her personal convo with Judge Brinkley.
“You know what, I don’t want to talk about legal things but I will say you know, every now and then, anyway, I won’t go there. I’ll save some of those things for my album and I’m also shooting a documentary. What I will say now is – oh God – I will say that the judge in question did everything I asked of her. I can’t badmouth her because I met her personally and I know what she said to us and he knows that but of course I wouldn’t wish jail on anybody. But like I said, I’ll get into detail on that in the documentary and possibly on the album but what I will say made me shed tears was seeing his mother cry. That was the first time I was like, ‘Oh my God, I can’t take it.’ During the relationship, she was so sweet to me and even at the end when we both kinda knew it was too rocky, too bad to – she always, always showed me so much love. So I still care about her. I didn’t like seeing her cry the other day.” (Beats 1)
