Screw Meek Mill with a giant BROOMSTICK!!!!!!!
If he did not have $$$$ his black ass would still be in JAIL.
His case only shined a flashlight on the disparities in the criminal justice system.
What about those who may be INNOCENT of the crimes they were charged with.
These folks never receive ANY MEDIA ATTENTION OR HYPE like this Mill.
The person whose case should be re-investigated is Mumia Abu Jamal.
This man is PROBABLY INNOCENT of killing that pig, however, due to the
corrupt criminal justice system, WE WILL NEVER KNOW!!!!!!!!!!
