Judge Denies R. Kelly’s Emergency Motion for Prison Release Following Murder Plot Accusations
A judge has denied R. Kelly's emergency motion for prison release following accusations that officials were orchestrating his murder.
In response to the denial, Kelly’s attorney Beau Brindley shared in a statement to Variety that he plans to file a motion today to vacate his convictions in Chicago based on newly discovered evidence and request an immediate release. On June 10, Kelly filed an emergency motion for temporary furlough, claiming there is explicit evidence that officials solicited an inmate to murder him while in custody at a federal penitentiary in North Carolina. Kelly remains in prison with blood clots in his lungs, this threatens his life every minute that he is denied the surgical intervention (pulmonary embolectomy) that Duke University hospital doctors sought to perform, but were prevented from executing.
