Tekashi 6ix9ine Set To Be Released From Jail Today
Tekashi 6ix9ine May Be Released From Prison Today
Incarnated rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, is supposed to be out of prison on August 2nd but 6ix9ine could be released from prison later today, as Judge Paul Engelmayer has officially stated that he is “inclined” to offer compassionate relief to the rapper.
The Judge presiding over Tekashi 6ix9ine’s case appears to be willing to grant his release from prison later today.
In a series of tweets by Inner City Press, who has been providing live courtroom updates on the matter for months, it was revealed that after the Bureau of Prisons denied 6ix9ine’s release this week, a second appeal was filed and the Court intends to grant it.
There has been fake reports circulating online regarding the release of Tekashi 6ix9ine and, although that may happen later today, it would not become official before 5 PM.
“The Court directs that the Government respond by 5 pm. The parties are advised that, provided the Court has authority to grant the relief requested by defense counsel, the Court intends to do so,” reports Inner City Press. Unless the Judge is pulling an epic April Fool’s Day prank, it looks like 69 will actually be getting out.
Looks like 69 will get out: “The Court directs that the Government respond by 5 pm. The parties are advised that, provided the Court has authority to grant the relief requested by defense counsel, the Court intends to do so (Signed by Judge Engelmayer on 4/1/2020) https://t.co/w6H2iih69r

According to reports, 6ix9ine’s first appeal was reportedly turned down because he had not consulted with the Bureau of Prisons but, after being denied by the BOP, the Judge is now inclined to release 6ix9ine pending the US Attorney’s official opposition of the order.
On #6ix9ine, for those (understandably) asking if Inner City Press’ 1st report on @SDNYLIVE order signaling 69’s release unless US convinces him he can’t is an April Fool’s joke, here’s Judge Engelmayer’s order. It’s dated April 1, but I doubt he’d joke on PACER pic.twitter.com/3CCVRYgg6o

It’s definitely complicated. It’s that Judge Engelmayer first turned 69 down because his lawyer hadn’t asked BOP to be released & been rejected. Now that has happened and Judge says he is inclined to release 69, pending the US Attorney’s 5 pm filing opposing it https://t.co/6wwzx4cYZZ

No, that is false. As Inner City Press reported, and posted photos of Judge Engelmayer’s order, the Judge says he is inclined now to grant #6ix9ine compassionate release, until the US convinces him in a filing today that he has no legal authority to release 69 https://t.co/REBxTv3ltp
