TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- What does she have to gain from being at the center of all this besides feeding her ego? She's creating political enemies by going against the city and state.
- Maybe she's hoping to write a book or make a documentary about all of this one day.
- You'd think at this point she'd recuse herself or be replaced just for the appearance of impartiality.
- She really is delusional. Judge Brinkley became a household name off of a bad sentence and she's determined to double-down on her mistakes.

Although a higher court noted that Judge Genece Brinkley was welcome to recuse herself from the trial, she will apparently pass on that option. Brinkley tells TMZ that she's been giving Meek a fair shot this whole time and doesn’t plan to switch up anytime soon.
The judge’s own lawyer, A. Charles Peruto Junior, says that Brinkley doesn’t see Meek's release ahead of the June hearing as challenging her sentence. Though a crooked cop at the center of Meek’s decade-old drug and weapons conviction was found to have tainted testimony, Brinkley reportedly thinks she can find good cops who will back the bad apple up.
Meek’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, calls Brinkley “a little sad and a little delusional” for not taking the Supreme Court’s hint to recuse herself.
