Judge Genece Brinkley has denied rapper Meek Mill petition for a retrial of his 2008 conviction, despite support from the Philadelphia DA’s office.
The petition came when it was revealed that a police officer who testified in the old gun case was suspected of racial bias and abuse.
Judge Brinkley said in a 47-page opinion released Monday that Mill’s attorneys “failed to meet his burden of proof” to have his conviction overturned, and questioned the thoroughness of Philadelphia prosecutors reviewing allegations of corruption against the officer.
