“I was telling Gucci, ‘Robert a real dude, man.’ Seriously, though, he came to visit me in jail and he spoke out for me. He has a lot of influence and what-not. He’s the real deal,” Meek said.

Since his release, Meek has appeared on many major media outlets and has been expressing the need to revamp the justice system in Pennsylvania. Meek has also been working with the governor of Pennsylvania, who is proposing legislation to address these issues and others similar to his case.
