Meek Mill's case just suffered another blow. He's not getting bail anytime soon. Deets inside...
Rapper Meek Mill has been locked up for close to a month now after the judge says he violated probation one too many times.
His legal team has been working to get him out on bail while they appeal his 2-4 year prison sentence, but the judge just handed down her decision today. And it's definitely a no-go.
TMZ reports, based on the docs, that Judge Brinkley thinks the Philly rapper may not be telling the whole truth about his drug test or his address he gave his probation officer. She also called him a flght risk:
Judge Genece Brinkley says Meek is a "flight risk" and "a danger to the community." In denying him bail, she questioned the validity of his clean drug tests ... suggesting he might have used something called "Fast Flush" to cleanse his system.
Brinkley also said Meek might have lied to police and his probation officer about his address. His legal team tells us that's BS, and says the address he's provided is the same one on his driver's license.
Welp.
Meek's attorneys have already popped back, claiming Judge Brinkley is continuing to treat their client unfairley:
There's a big move to free Meek on grounds the judge was prejudiced ... biased against Meek when he would not change managers or give Judge Brinkley a shout-out in a Boyz II Men song.
One of Meek's attorneys, Joe Tacopina, says Brinkley's decision "continues her long pattern of unfair treatment" of Meek ... and vows they will appeal.
Meek's most recent probation violation that landed him in the slammer again is tied to his 2008 conviction on drugs and weapons charges.
Plenty of folks, fans and celebs alike, have been speaking out in defense of Meek claiming that the justice system is set up to trap men like Meek inside of it. Jay-Z, who heads up Meek's label Roc Nation, had tees made up for folks to floss at a recent 4:44 concert tour stop in Philly. Trey Songz, Yo Gotti, Ben Simmons and fans all joined in:
