Philly’s District Attorney Says Meek Mill Should Get A New Judge And New Trial Because Judge On His Case Has Shown Evident Bias

<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">&num;MeekMill and his attorneys have been fighting to get him a new trial on the grounds that the judge overseeing his probation violation case&comma; &num;GeneceBrinkley&comma; has been biased&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s being reported that Philly&&num;8217&semi;s District Attorney reportedly agrees&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">It’s rare that you see the D&period;A&period;’s office side with the defendant in a case&comma; however&comma; the District Attorney feels strongly enough that Meek is being wronged&period; The office apparently filed new docs in Pennsylvania Superior Court stating that Judge Brinkley’s appearance of bias has been &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;evident throughout the case&comma;” <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;tmz&period;com&sol;2019&sol;05&sol;22&sol;meek-mill-new-trial-district-attorney-philadelphia-judge-genece-brinkley&sol;">&commat;tmz&lowbar;tv<&sol;a> reports&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Therefore&comma; the district attorney is requesting that Meek be retried in his probation violation case&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">If y’all need a refresher&comma; Judge Brinkley sentenced Meek to 2 to 4 years in state prison&comma; which was eventually set aside when Meek was released back in April of 2018&period; Since then&comma; he has appealed and asked for a new trial&comma; but Judge Brinkley blocked his shot last June&comma; refusing to grant the retrial&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">In the docs obtained by TMZ&comma; the District Attorney calls out Brinkley&&num;8217&semi;s bias against Meek&comma; specifically singling out a surprise visit she made to a homeless shelter where Meek was doing court-ordered community service&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">The D&period;A&period; points out that&&num;8217&semi;s &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;not what judges do&comma;” suggesting that is more along the lines of what probation officers who report back to the judge are responsible for&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">According to the docs&comma; Brinkley also &&num;8220&semi;abused her discretion&&num;8221&semi; when she handed out the 2 to 4 year sentence for &&num;8220&semi;technical violations&&num;8221&semi; of his probation&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Regardless of what she’s been accused of&comma; she has repeatedly refused to recuse herself from the case&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Even the D&period;A&period; feels that Meek serves no threat to the community&comma; and had completed drug treatment &&num;8212&semi; and therefore deserves another chance in court without Judge Brinkley on the bench&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon;
