Option 4(original article)

 * Article title
 * Meek Mill's Legal Case


 * Article Evaluation
 * Meek Mill's legal case sparked social uproar due to the seemingly biased work of the judicial system, where since his release he has started a criminal justice reform organization and returned to #1 on Billboard charts. The main development of his legal situation is that he has become a leader against systematic racism in the United States. Meek Mill then formed Reform Alliance with Jay-Z, Van Jones, and others, a criminal justice reform platform that is about: "Our(their) collective disgust with the current state of the American criminal justice system is creating a powerful, growing alliance that spans different backgrounds, industries and political beliefs. We are bringing together leaders in business, government, entertainment, sports, technology, art, and culture to give voice to the voiceless."
