Philadelphia D.A. files no opposition to releasing Meek Mill at the state supreme court level
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has officially filed no opposition to releasing Meek Mill on bail at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court level, according to documents obtained by the Blast. This means that Meek's release on bail will now be decided by the Supreme Court, instead of Judge Genece Brinkley, who last week denied his release from his 2-4 sentence.
“We are encouraged by the Philadelphia District Attorney’s steadfast stance in not opposing Meek Mill’s release on bail at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court level while the current legal proceedings continue, even in light of Judge Brinkley’s vindictive and erroneous decision," Meek's lawyer Joe Taponica said in a statement to The FADER.

A representative for Meek Mill confirmed to The FADER that the new filing is "specifically at the supreme court level," noting that the new filing from the D.A. was needed to approve the new court's handling of Meek's release on bail. Meek's legal team has also petitioned the state supreme court to remove Judge Brinkley from the case entirely, but as of now, she remains. But the D.A.'s new statement means they've now above her to secure his release. As of now, the representative notes that there's no immediate timeline for that release.
