The judge
who sentenced Meek Mill to 2 to 4 years in prison for parole violations has
been ordered to grant him a bail hearing for the 'harsh' sentencing.
The order
was given on Monday, after his lawyers appealed to officials at Pennsylvania’s
Superior Court, accusing Brinkley of holding up their appeal proceedings by
failing to respond to any of their recent motions, while they also lodged an
emergency order seeking bail for their famous client.
But the
Superior Court judges declined to grant Meek’s bail request, explaining the
matter should “first be presented to the lower court”, while ordering Judge
Brinkley to rule on the outstanding issues "without further delay."
“The Court
of Common Pleas is directed to enter a disposition of petitioner’s November 16,
2017, motion for bail without further delay,” the Superior Court said.
Mill’s rep,
Jordan Siev, told TMZ of the ruling, “We’re pleased that the Superior Court
took immediate action to direct the Court of Common Pleas to decide on the
application for bail without further delay. We remain hopeful that Mr. Williams
will be promptly released on bail.”
Meanwhile,
Judge Brinkley who has been accused of having a vendetta against Mill because
the rapper would not give her a shout-out in a song. has been repeatedly
criticized, with many claiming that the
sentencing was too harsh.
It's yet
unknown when Judge Brinkley will hold the bail hearing.
