The judge Genece Brinkley has denied Meek Mill's request for bail. According to TMZ, the judge described Mill as "flight risk" and "a danger to the community" via court documents.Lawyer Joe Tacopina thinks the judge's decision "continues her long pattern of unfair treatment." Previously, Tacopina asked for bail on the rapper's 2 to 4 year prison sentence (for a probation violation.)

Pitchfork obtained a statement from Meek Mill's lawyer which reads:

We are very disappointed with Judge Brinkley’s decision to deny Mr. Williams bail, which continues her long pattern of unfair treatment of him.

As stated on multiple occasions, he has never missed a previous court date in this case and poses absolutely no threat to the community, which makes him an ideal candidate for bail—a conclusion the Commonwealth did not oppose.

We intend to immediately appeal this decision, so Mr. Williams can be released from prison on bail while we continue to work to overturn this wrongful and unjust sentence.
