Maybach Music Group’s Meek Mill can’t get Judge Genece Brinkley to bend. Months after serving him with a two to four-year jail sentence, the now-infamous judge has denied his request to get released on bail.

According to reports, Judge Brinkley will force Meek to remain behind bars despite him receiving public support from both the District Attorney’s office and the Pennsylvania governor.

Judge Genece Brinkley didn’t give reasons for her decision, but it came amidst pressure to open the prison doors for the rapper … who has been in prison since November for a probation violation. Meek’s team has argued Judge Brinkley is biased and bears a grudge against him. Meek’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, tells TMZ, “This ruling from Judge Genece Brinkley simply reaffirms the fact she has turned Meek Mill’s case into a personal vendetta.” (TMZ)

Last month, Meek’s mom Kathy Williams penned an open letter about her son’s situation.

“The problem is that the justice system has failed my son at every turn and hasn’t let go. You, Lady Justice, have allowed corruption at the highest levels of the system, and cruelty and spite have cast doubt on your very foundation. You are supposed to balance fairness and blindly always do what’s right, yet injustice has taken 11 years of our lives. My son had to choose between seeing his child and his mother in a hospital or going to prison. My son – who was 19 when he was introduced to the justice system – has been scarred physically and emotionally by your betrayal, and now you threaten his own son’s sense of security. Today feels heavier because, now that the truth has finally been revealed, for some reason Lady Justice you are not weighing in. Where are you? The District Attorney and Governor Wolf had the courage to say let my son out of prison due to this injustice. You’ve taken his innocence and abused his pride. He’s suffered loss of family and freedom. No human being should know his truths and be accosted by lies and false judgment under your shelter.” (Billboard)

Williams also used her message to reveal Meek’s intent on helping other jailed men fighting the system for their freedom.

“You have wrongfully convicted a black man in prison, that is a profound reality in America. We have given you all the evidence and all the reasons his case is a symbol of the problem in our justice system. On behalf of every mother whose son suffers the cruelty of unjust punishment, I now beg you to hear the words of the DA and the Governor and release my son. Each time I talk to my son, he gives me the strength to carry on and promises me that upon his release he will fight for other men whose voices are not heard. Give him that chance.” (Billboard)

Recently, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf showed his support for Meek getting out of jail on bail.

  1. Breaking The Law is breaking the Law! No one should be exempt! Plain and simple people… I am with the judge. Again, Meek never learned anything and should serve his time. So if we remove that judge you think the new judge will not look at Meek’s previous convictions or troubles with the Law. People please… Meek has to learn and this will break him okay. Let him take this ride! He did not care about his mother or his love ones before he did these crimes. Learn people, learn! Sorry Meek, it is for your own good brother!

    • Seriously, before you pass this type of judgement you should read the facts of this particular case and you would see that the “crime” does not the time.

    • fuck you ya trashcan, i’m pretty sure hes learned his lesson at this point. you’re also forgetting the wrongful conviction at the hands of a corrupt cop. there is nothing positive coming out of keeping this young man locked up.

    • So tha guy who constantly rhymes bout his guns & crack sales was wrongfully convicted of drug dealing and gun possession?….. u needa shut ur dumbass medulla oblongata up! (and stop usin’ words u don’t know how 2 pronounce, faggot) lol

    • Are you a retard? Meek has a prior record fool. Do you really think any new judge will help him? You fools cannot be dumb all your life.

    • He was not a young man when he did these crimes. Bruh stop with the BS. Crooked cop or crooked judge Meek did wrong stupid. He broke the law! If he sees another judge that judge is going to see the same thing… Meek is a bad apple now take that L Meek Mills

    • he was 19!!! the arrest should be nullified due to the only evidence used to convict was the testimony of a now discredited and perjured police officer.

    • Smh. I feel bad for you. You one of those people that think Hip Hop is real. I bet you think Professional Wrestling is real too.

    • You apparently don’t know much about law. There have been cases thrown out for less. You don’t know what a new judge, who has fresh eyes and a new, different, perspective will say. You just seem to hate Meek. Dude has the governor and the DA both saying he should be free’d. How often do you think that happens? You’re the one that needs to grow up. The Judge has it out for Meek.

    • I feel bad 4 ur mom, she gon hafta support ur retarded ass for the rest of her life…. Ooooh thatz why she a 45yr old stripper! to support her retarded son!

  2. The judge is not going to free him like that. You know why? Because that would let everyone know that she was wrong. Which she was. But her ego won’t let her admit to it. So this denial is conformation of that. When the Governor and the DA are both saying, “Hey, maybe something isn’t right here.” You know it was some corrupt BS going on. The judge is embarrassed and this move right here was made to save face.
