Rapper Mill wants to aid prison reform

A LAWYER FOR Meek Mill says the rapper is glad to be getting out of jail, but would be willing to do more time if it helped criminal justice reform.

“Within a few days Meek Mill will be part of our community once again,” said Meek’s lawyer Joseph Tacopina on Wednesday, during a criminal justice panel at the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network Convention in Midtown.

The rapper, whose real name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, has become a cause célèbre for criminal justice reform after he was sentenced by a Philadelphia judge to up to four years in a Pennsylvania jail for popping a wheelie in New York during a music video shoot in Inwood Aug. 17.

After the stunt was uploaded to Instagram, Williams was charged with reckless endangerment and reckless driving.

The judge, Genece Brinkley, deemed the charge a violation of his parole stemming from a 2008 gun and drug case.

Philadelphia prosecutors, meanwhile, told a judge Monday that they support a new trial for the rapper after a police officer in his initial 2007 arrest landed on a list of officers suspected of lying in court and framing witnesses.
