Christopher Warren, Mill’s attorney says “All I’m asking for is a hearing to learn why [his jailing] is constitutional and they won’t even give me that.” Everyone is speculating that the rapper was locked up due to things he may have tweeted that would lead to him violating his probation. But did he ACTUALLY violate his probation? Continue reading to see what’s being done to get him out.

While the rapper’s legal team filed a petition for an emergency court date, hoping to get Meek out of jail as quickly as possible, the request has been denied by Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley. The judge stated that no such hearing could be held until September.
Warren and fellow attorney Dennis Cogan plan to file for a writ of mandamus, in which a higher court would request Brinkley to hold an emergency hearing at an earlier date. The legal team maintains that Meek has done nothing that would warrant his probation being revoked, and that the rapper should have been given two hearings and written notice of his violations ahead of time.
