Meek Mill Reaches Plea Agreement Ending Legal Woes

Meek Mill has reached an agreement with prosecutors that ends his 12-year long gun case. Mill pled guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge, while prosecutors dropped all other charges.

The rapper won’t have to serve additional time in prison after reaching the agreement.

Prosecutors and Mill reached a deal after a Pennsylvania appeals court had overturned the rapper’s 2008 conviction on drug and gun charges last month. The unanimous three-judge opinion granted the rapper a new trial as new evidence suggested police corruption.

Mill pled guilty to misdemeanor possession of a firearm without a license, while the remaining 6 charges for which he was originally convicted were all dropped.

Back in 2008, Meek had been found guilty of 7 charges, 4 of which were related to the gun.

Mill has already served about two years in prison in the case. The judge decided he won’t have to spend any additional time behind bars or on probation.

“I know this has been a long road for you and hopefully this will be the end of it,” Judge Leon Tucker told the rapper.
