Rapper Meek Mill walked out of prison Tuesday after Pennsylvanias highest court ordered him freed while he appeals decade-old gun and drug convictions.
Following a five-month campaign by his supporters to get him out Derrick Nnadi Jersey Chiefs , the state Supreme Court directed a Philadelphia judge who had jailed him to immediately issue an order releasing him on unsecured bail.
Mill was sentenced in November to two to four years in prison for probation violations.
He was taken from the prison by helicopter to Philadelphia, where he rang the ceremonial bell at the start of Game 5 of the Philadelphia 76ers-Miami Heat playoff series.
Welcome home Meek Mill, said the game announcer to the rapper, who was sitting courtside next to actor Kevin Hart and Sixers co-owner Michael Rubin.
Before the game, Mill visited privately with the Sixers in their locker room.
A team of lawyers and public relations consultants had waged an all-out battle to get him freed Chiefs Authentic Jerseys , leveling fierce criticism at the judge as a stream of high-powered figures and celebrities visited him in jail outside Philadelphia just hours before the Supreme Court ruling.
Mill issued a statement saying the past months had been a nightmare, and thanked his many supporters and visitors, who included Rubin, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney.
Although Im blessed to have the resources to fight this unjust situation Youth Chris Herndon Jersey , I understand that many people of color across the country dont have that luxury and I plan to use my platform to shine a light on those issues, Mill said.
He said he would now focus his attention on getting his convictions overturned, and that he looks forward to resuming his music career.
Earlier this month, in a major victory for Mill, prosecutors said they agreed with his lawyers that he should get a new trial because of questions raised about the arresting officer. The now-retired officer was among a list of police officers the prosecutors office has sought to keep off the witness stand in cases across the city because of credibility questions.
A spokesman for District Attorney Larry Krasner said late Tuesday that the Supreme Courts decision on Meek Mills release was consistent with the position taken by their office.
Mills attorney Customized Miami Dolphins Jerseys , Joe Tacopina, thanked the high court.
Meek was unjustly convicted and should not have spent a single day in jail, Tacopina said.
In an opinion earlier this month, Judge Genece Brinkley, who sent Mill to prison for the probation violations Derwin James Jersey Chargers , strongly defended herself against accusations by the defense she was waging a vendetta against the rapper. She said the court has impartially and without prejudice presided over numerous proceedings in this matter since 2008.

This story has been corrected to say Mill rang the ceremonial bell at the start of Game 5 of the Philadelphia 76ers-Miami Heat playoff series, not the start of the playoff series.
