This appeal came from the rapper after Criminal Justice Reform Advocates said this case illustrates racial bias in the system.

Rapper Meek Mill was sentenced to two to four years in prison after a pair of arrests violated probation conditions relating to 2008 gun and drug convictions by a judge in November 2017.
