Meek Mill’s 2008 Conviction Thrown Out, Retrial Unlikely (Click Here For Details
Sources connected to the case told TMZ it is “highly, highly unlikely” prosecutors will refile the case and retry Meek, for several reasons — their main witness is a dirty cop with no credibility, the case is 12 years old and memories have faded, and Meek has already been through hell with Judge Brinkley.
his 2008 gun conviction was just thrown out … and he’s being granted a new trial AND a new judge to re-fight the charge.
the key witness in the case turned out to be a dirty cop. Even the prosecutor wanted a new trial — especially after Meek was released from prison over a year ago — but Judge Brinkley wouldn’t budge. This time around, a panel of 3 judges who were not previously involved in the case unanimously made the decision to throw out the conviction.
Meek just said, “I’d like to thank the Pennsylvania Superior Court judges for their wisdom and their transparency in reviewing my case, unanimously overturning my conviction and granting me a new trial. The past 11 years have been mentally and emotionally challenging, but I’m ecstatic that justice prevailed.”
