Phila. DA OK with bail for rapper Meek

- Rachel DeSantis and Nancy Dillon

RAPPER MEEK Mill could soon be a free man.

The Philadelph­ia district attorney’s office said Wednesday it’s not against letting Mill (photo), whose real name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, out on bail as he appeals his conviction.

It is likely that Mill’s case could be overturned over accusation­s that the officer who arrested him lied under oath, according to a motion filed by prosecutor­s. Mill, 30, was sentenced in November to two to four years behind bars for violating probation stemming from a 2008 drug and weapon possession conviction.

Last month, an ex-Philadelph­ia cop alleged that Reggie Graham, Mill’s arresting officer and the lone witness at his trial a decade ago, lied on the stand to send the rapper to the big house.
