“There has now been explicit evidence that the officials in charge of the protection of prisoners have planned the murder of Mr. Kelly,” said lawyer Beau B. Brindley in the application. R. Kelly was sentenced in 2022 to a prison sentence of thirty years after he was found guilty of, among other things, sexual abuse. Later, twenty years in prison was added because of child pornography and extortion.
According to American media, this news will be received in many circles with skepticism. The statement states that prisoner Mikeal Glenn Stine was instructed by a guard to execute “R. Kelly” to prevent harmful information from coming out. For the time being, Brindley asks a judge to release Kelly under house arrest.
