Meek Mill’s Attorney Files to Have Biased Judge Removed From Case

Meek Mill was sentenced to 2-4 years for violating his probation, essentially popping a wheelie.

Since then, there have been claims Judge, Genece Brinkley, was allegedly mad because Meek would not remix a Boyz II Men single, which is why she disregarded recommendations of no jail time and sentenced the rapper.

Chiiillleeee, what? LMAOOO!

Meek’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, tells us … he’s filing a motion for the judge to remove herself from his case, and will also be filing an official complaint with the judicial conduct board. As we reported, the judge allegedly has it out for Meek because he wouldn’t do a Boyz II Men song with a shout out to her in the middle.

Tacopina feels the judge’s bad blood led to the stiff sentence of 2 to 4 years for violating probation.

Tacopina says Meek will also be applying to Pennsylvania’s Board of Pardons … but we’re told that’s more of a Hail Mary because it’s normally a 3-year process at least.

There’s a petition circulating, calling for the BOP and Governor Tom Wolf to have Meek’s “unjust prison sentence remedied” — which is now 300,000 strong — it probably won’t help much. A spokesperson for Wolf says his hands are tied by state law.

Rick Ross is leading a ‘Free Meek’ rally in Philly, while co-owners of the 76ers actually wrote a letter on Meek’s behalf.

Eleven years probation? C’mon, man. No one would make it. Meek Mill definitely deserves better.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — NEW YORK: The official trailer for CALL ME MICKY, a new documentary short Executive Produced by acclaimed POSE star Dominique Jackson and directed by Andrew Rasmussen, has been released on YouTube ahead of the film’s upcoming festival run.

The 22-minute documentary follows Micky Angelo Petrillo, a larger-than-life New Jersey native who transitioned at 59 and is now discovering what comes next.

Rather than presenting transition as the conclusion of Petrillo’s story, CALL ME MICKY focuses on the life unfolding afterward — through Pride celebrations, open mics, friendships, storytelling and Petrillo’s increasingly public embrace of the man he fought decades to become.

Jackson also appears in the film, joining Petrillo for an intimate on-camera conversation about identity, visibility and what it means to finally live openly as yourself.

Internationally recognized for her commanding portrayal of Elektra on FX’s groundbreaking series POSE, Jackson is an actress, model, activist and producer who also served as an Executive Producer of the acclaimed documentary I’M YOUR VENUS, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival.

Petrillo is the author of the memoir Walking the Earth: First as a Woman, Then a Man.

While CALL ME MICKY captures one chapter of Petrillo’s much larger story, the film offers an intimate portrait of a man discovering that becoming yourself is not the ending — it may only be the beginning.
