Meek Mill Is Getting An Appeal Hearing

Judge Genece Brinkley has granted an appeal hearing to Meek Mill and his legal team, according to CBS Philly.

On Wednesday (February 14), Meek’s legal team filed a Post-Conviction Relief Act (PCRA) petition in Pennsylvania in the latest attempt to free him. In the petition, which were emailed to HipHopDX, two of Graham’s ex-colleagues — Jerold Gibson and Jeffery Walker — confirm he lied about Meek’s original 2007 arrest.

Defense attorneys Joe Tacopina and Jordan Siev allege one of the arresting officers, Reginald Graham, lied under oath. Meek’s attorneys claim he was wrongfully convicted and are now in the process of filing a motion for bail.

Graham reportedly has a soiled reputation with the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office resulting from a history of lying.

In the court docs, it reads, “Officer Graham frequently misused confidential informants and fabricated the alleged probable cause for search warrants. He also lied about the justification for warrantless searches.” They also state, “Officer Graham frequently stole and kept money that he recovered during searches and arrests.”

It’s worth noting both Walker and Gibson were reportedly fired and convicted on theft charges.

Meek’s post-conviction relief appeal is scheduled for April
