R. Kelly Lawyer Confirms ‘Discussions’ for Presidential Pardon
R. Kelly's legal team claims prison officials and inmates conspired to kill the singer as he seeks release from his North Carolina jail
People, Variety and Billboard report that Kelly’s legal team, including attorney Beau B. Brindley, filed an emergency motion in Chicago on Tuesday, June 10, requesting the “Ignition” singer, 58, be released from a federal prison in Butner, North Carolina, and placed in home detention on temporary furlough. The Tuesday court filing alleges that three BOP officials solicited fellow inmate Mikeal Glenn Stine, who claims to be a member of the Aryan Brotherhood, to murder Kelly and transferred him from an Arizona prison to the same penitentiary — and unit — as the singer in March to carry out the deed, per the reports. In a sworn declaration filed alongside the motion, Stine reportedly claimed that officials told him Kelly and his legal team were planning to expose alleged misconduct.
