Meek Mill: Imprisoned rapper to get new trial over probation violations

 

ncarcerated rapper Meek Mill will now get a new trial after the request for his immediate release was denied.

According to the Associated Press, Philadelphia’s district attorney declared that Mill’s “convictions should be vacated and he should have a new trial”.
Ben Waxman – a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office – said a new trial would be given to Mill “due to questions of credibility of the arresting officer”.
However Judge Genece Brinkley made the decision not to let the rapper out of prison on bail during his status hearing on Monday.
The 30-year-old rapper’s lawyers said they planned to reach out to a “higher court” to have Mill released.
Mill’s sentence has been appealed several times, but hasn’t successfully been overturned.
