R. Kelly Asks for Release Over Alleged Prison Plot Against Him
Originally Published 7 months ago — by Variety
R. Kelly's attorneys have filed an emergency motion for his release, alleging that federal officials solicited an inmate to murder him while in custody, citing evidence from a terminally ill inmate who claims officials offered him freedom in exchange for Kelly's murder. The attorneys argue Kelly's life is in danger due to ongoing threats from other inmates associated with the Aryan Brotherhood, and they seek his release to home detention. Kelly is currently serving a 30-year sentence for sex crimes and racketeering.
