File-This Nov. 6, 2017, file photo shows Rapper Meek Mill arriving at the criminal justice center in Philadelphia. A Philadelphia judge who has become a target after sentencing Meek Mill to prison on a probation violation has hired her own lawyer who’s threatening to sue for defamation. Attorney A. Charles Peruto Jr. said Thursday, Feb. 1, 2018, that Judge Genece Brinkley hired him last week. He says Mill’s legal team has been making baseless claims to the media about the judge’s personal and professional conduct.(AP Photo/Matt Rourke, File)
