Meek Mill’s 2008 conviction on drug and gun charges will be thrown out, The Associated Press reports and Pitchfork can confirm via court records. He will be granted a new trial on the decade-old charges “because of new evidence of alleged police corruption,” according to The AP. The judges reportedly wrote, “We conclude the after-discovered evidence is of such a strong nature and character that a different verdict will likely result at a retrial.”

Along with the overturned 2008 conviction, the judges from the Pennsylvania Superior Court reportedly overturned Philadelphia Common Pleas Judge Genece Brinkley’s probation violation ruling that sent Meek to prison in 2017.

When reached by Pitchfork, representatives for Meek Mill sent the following statement from the rapper:

I’d like to thank the Pennsylvania Superior Court judges for their wisdom and transparency in reviewing my case, unanimously overturning my conviction and granting me a new trial. The past 11 years have been mentally and emotionally challenging, but I’m ecstatic that justice prevailed. This positive outcome wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my family, my attorneys, JAY-Z, Desiree Perez, Michael Rubin, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office and my supporters who have stood with me through the ups and downs. Unfortunately, millions of people are dealing with similar issues in our country and don’t have the resources to fight back like I did. We need to continue supporting them. I’m committed to working with my team at the REFORM Alliance to change these outdated laws and fix our broken criminal justice system.

Meek Mill was arrested in 2007 by the police officer Reginald Graham. Meek’s lawyers have argued that Graham could not be considered a credible witness and allegedly gave false testimony during Meek’s initial trial. The Philadelphia District Attorney’s office has indicated that it will not call Graham as a witness during the new trial.
