Will Meek Mill's wish be granted?

Philadelphia-born hip hop artist Meek Mill's "Homecoming Tour" ended prematurely Friday when he was sentenced to three to six months in prison for violating his probation from a 2009 gun and drug case.

Though it was almost lost in the commotion as sheriffs deputies prepared to take him into custody, Mill – now known as Robert Williams, inmate 892643, of the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility -- might have achieved a small victory.

After all, how many convicted felons can get a new probation officer?

True, Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Genece E. Brinkley did not say yes. But she also didn't laugh him out of court.

It became pretty clear over the last two years that Mill and Philadelphia probation officer Treas Underwood had irreconcilable differences. Mill, in Twitter messages that helped get him returned to prison, accused Underwood of racism – she is African American – and said she was jealous that one of her probationers had achieved fame and fortune while under her control. Underwood said Mill, 27, did not grasp the concept of probation. She said he was late for or missed appointments, was disrespectful of her and the justice system and tested positive for opiates, although Mill came up with legitimate prescriptions for Percocet for dental work and an ankle injury.

Finally, on Friday, Mill pleaded with Brinkley: "When I'm free again, can I please get assigned to a new probation officer?"

Mill argued that he had five previous probation officers and got along with them all, although Brinkley seemed skeptical and said she thought some might have been blinded by the rising star they were supervising. Then the judge looked into the gallery and spotted Underwood's supervisor, Denise Williams, who is not related to Mill/Williams.

"Ms. Williams, would you be willing to supervise him?" Brinkley asked.

Williams seemed uneasy and then said she would like to speak privately with the judge – later -- about the proposal.

Mill will be on five years' probation when he is released -- more than enough time to think about whether he really wanted his wish granted.

According to testimony, during one of Mill's disputes with Underwood he demanded to speak to her supervisor, none other than Denise Williams.

It didn't end well.

Denise Williams told the judge last Friday that, after years on probation, Mill acts like he hasn't learned anything.

"He doesn't listen, it's his way or no way and he has to learn to listen," Williams told the judge.

"It breaks my heart to see this young man who is so talented and he doesn't have a clue," Williams added.
