Judge Denies Rapper Meek Mill’s Request For New Trial

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A judge in Philadelphia has denied Meek Mill’s petition for a new trial in his decade-old drug and gun convictions despite support for the request by the district attorney’s office.
The rapper’s attorneys cited credibility issues with a police officer who testified in his case. District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office agreed to the new trial, saying it had no confidence in the officer’s testimony.
