Philadelphia rapper, Meek Mill who is serving to 2-4 years in state prison for violating probation from his 2009 drug and weapons case, is reportedly one step closer to being released on bail after the District Attorney Larry Krasner's office said it was not averse to releasing him on bail.
On Wednesday, the Philadelphia District Attorney's office said it’s not against letting rapper Meek Mill out of prison on bail as he appeals his conviction. The new turn of event follows the police corruption scandal surrounding Meek's arresting officer who reportedly lied under oath, according to documents acquired by the Daily News.
According to the report, Prosecutors confirmed that the arresting officer was among those prosecutors from the previous administration who tried to keep off the witness stand because of credibility questions.
The Prosecutors pointed out that hundreds of previous convictions have already been overturned, and they think Meek will follow suit, shortly. The Prosecutors added that they see no reason for Meek to be held without bail.
Speaking to TMZ Meek Mill's mother Kathy Williams thanked the attorney for carefully evaluating his son's case and prayed God to grant the judge the wisdom to make the right decision.
"I would like to thank the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office for carefully evaluating my son’s matter and not opposing the request for bail. The fact that Robert’s entire conviction could be overturned is a blessing and I pray that God gives Judge Brinkley the wisdom to make the right decision and allow my son to return home to his family. I truly believe justice will prevail.”
