Demetrius Flenory, also known as "Big Meech," is hoping for an early release from prison in 2025, pending approval from the courts. According to recent court documents, his attorney Brittany K. Barnett submitted a petition last month requesting an early release for the former crime boss. This could potentially shorten his sentence by three years, as per the new sentencing guidelines outlined in Amendment 821 of the United States Criminal Code.
Barnett argues that Flenory has been a model prisoner, maintaining good behavior and even furthering his education by obtaining his GED and excelling in other prison classes. She also points out that he has not been involved in any trouble since his incarceration began in 2021. As a result, she believes he deserves credit for his sentence reduction under Amendment 782 of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and should be released by 2025.
Originally, Flenory was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his involvement in large-scale drug trafficking and money laundering. However, his sentence was later reduced to 20 years, which meant he would not be released until 2028. But if Barnett's petition is granted, Flenory could be a free man again in 2025. This news has brought joy to his son, Demetrius Flenory Jr., who plays his father in the popular TV series "BMF" on Starz.
Flenory Jr. took to social media to express his excitement, as the series was recently renewed for a fourth season and the third season premiered on March 1. In an interview with BLACK ENTERPRISE, he shared his experience portraying his father and learning about his family's history, which took place before he was born.
Born in 2000, Flenory Jr. admits that everything he has learned about his family has been through the show. He explained, "It's all a learning experience. I got to learn a lot about my family that I didn't know about." He also shared that playing his father's character has allowed him to better understand his roots and live up to his father's name.
Meanwhile, Barnett, who has successfully aided in the release of other incarcerated individuals, such as Alice Johnson, has once again proven her skills as a lawyer. In 2018, she teamed up with Kim Kardashian to advocate for clemency for Johnson, who had served 21 years of a life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense. Johnson was ultimately released in June 2018 by the Trump administration.
The recent developments in Flenory's case have also brought attention to the third season of "BMF," which has been praised for its portrayal of the Flenory family's story. The show has been renewed for a fourth season, and fans and critics alike are eager to see how the story will continue to unfold.
