Meek Mill Set to Get A New Trial! 69 Stoops Even LOWER As He Prepares To Take The Stand & More!

PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) – A decision on whether rapper Meek Mill will be retried in a drug and gun case has been delayed until later this month. The 32-year-old Philadelphia native attended a hearing Tuesday morning at the Criminal Justice Center in Center City to discuss the next steps in his case.

Last month, the Pennsylvania Superior Court tossed out Meek’s decade-old drug and gun conviction.

This is a big deal for the rapper who has been on probation for almost a decade now. Meek has been trying to get a 2008 conviction stemming from drug and weapon charges tossed out. The state Superior Court ruled last month that the conviction should be tossed out based on evidence that lawyers say undermines the credibility of the officer who testified against Mill at his trial.

Now, the judge has said it is possible a different verdict will result at a new trial. City prosecutors also backed Meek’s bid for retrial citing bias from Philadelphia Judge Genece Brinkley who sent the rapper to jail for minor probation violations. Brinkley has since denied those allegations.

The whole process has turned Meek into a celebrity for criminal justice reform.

“The work I want to do is actually make a smart probation and parole act where you can gain your life back, get your life back on track, not just be caught up in a loop and going in and out of the system,” Meek told “CBS This Morning’s” Gayle King last month.

On Friday, the federal government laid out its plans for the upcoming trial in the 6ix9ine racketeering case.

In a 41-page filing, U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman talked about what 6ix9ine (identified only as "CW-2" for "cooperating witness" in the documents) will be saying if he appears on the witness stand in the case against his accused kidnapper Anthony "Harv" Ellison and alleged drug dealer Aljermiah "Nuke" Mack. [The Southern District's Public Affairs office refused to officially confirm that CW-2 is 6ix9ine, but didn't deny it. "Most of the time we sort of lead you right to the answer, but I just officially can't confirm it for you," spokesperson Dawn Dearden told Complex. Dates and other identifying details between "CW-2" and 6ix9ine match exactly.]
