This week rapper Meek Mill was sentenced to 2 to 4 years in prison for violating the terms of his probation from a 2008 gun conviction [click here if you missed that].
Now Meek's attorney is accusing the judge of revenge sentencing...
From Business Insider
In sentencing Mill to be imprisoned, Brinkley went against the recommendation of the Philadelphia district attorney and Mill's probation officer, both of whom suggested that Mill not be incarcerated for the violations.
Tacopina told Business Insider that Brinkley showed a "personal stake" in the decision, and he recounted an odd scene that allegedly occurred between Mill, former girlfriend Nicki Minaj, and the judge inside the courtroom chambers in 2013 as an instance of Brinkley's "inappropriateness."
Tacopina said Brinkley "requested that [Mill] re-record the Philadelphia group Boyz II Men song 'On Bended Knee,'" and include a shout-out to Brinkley on the song.
He said Mill and Minaj laughed at her, thinking she was kidding, and Brinkley said, "No, I'm serious." Tacopina said Mill declined the request and that Brinkley added, "Okay, suit yourself."
Tacopina also said that Brinkley at one point asked Mill to leave his Roc Nation management and return to his former Philadelphia-based manager Charlie Mack, who Tacopina said is a friend of Brinkley's.
