R. Kelly’s Request to Leave Prison for Home Confinement Denied Amid Alleged Murder Plot

by

As a devoted admirer putting it, I found out that my heartfelt plea for R. Kelly’s temporary release from prison to home confinement was turned down by a federal judge. The decision was made considering the ongoing legal proceedings against him.

The troubled musician, under accusation, is attempting to leave North Carolina’s jail due to suspicions that prison authorities are plotting his death as part of a paid assassination plan. This development follows his recent hospitalization due to a suspected drug overdose.

R&B artist Robert Sylvester Kelly, formerly known by that name, is presently incarcerated for three decades due to multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

On Thursday, Judge Martha Pacold determined that Kelly’s recent petition was filed in the incorrect court and lacked the authority to rule on his allegations. As stated by CBS News, she explained that “Kelly is presently detained at FCI Butner, situated in Butner, North Carolina – outside of this judicial district.” In her view, Kelly has not provided a valid legal reason for this court’s jurisdiction. Consequently, his emergency motion… was denied.

Kelly’s legal representative criticized the verdict. “We anticipated this outcome since we recognized that establishing technical jurisdiction would be tricky under these specific conditions,” Beau Brindley explained. “Nevertheless, due to the clear evidence indicating a danger to Robert Kelly’s life, we had no other option but to take immediate action.

As per the original report, it was on June 13 that the 58-year-old man awoke to find dark spots appearing in his line of sight. Attempting to rise, he instead stumbled and fell onto the floor.

Following this, he “moved towards the cell’s door and fell unconscious,” according to the records. It is claimed in the document that prison personnel administered an excessive dose of medication to him on June 12. Subsequently, he was transported to Duke University Hospital.

After spending two days in the hospital due to planned surgery for blood clots, as reported by his attorney, it was expected that Kelly would need to stay in the hospital for another fortnight. However, upon notifying FCI Butner officials about this, officers who were watching over Kelly at the hospital reportedly entered his room with guns within an hour and took him away.

Prior to the event unfolding, Kelly alleged that federal prison authorities had secretly arranged for a member of the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang to take his life. Mikeal Glenn Stine, the individual accused of being promised freedom to carry out this act against the singer, reportedly informed Kelly that his life was under immediate threat, as documented in the court filing.

The federal prosecutors deemed Kelly’s claims of a plot against him as something that goes against the punishment this court has handed down for extremely troubling crimes… Kelly persists in denying responsibility for years of abusing children, and they assert that he is merely exploiting this court to gain attention, even though there is no valid reason for him to be appearing before this court.

In 2022, Kelly was found guilty in Chicago for producing child pornography, with allegations that he filmed himself engaging in sexual abuse towards three underage girls, including his 14-year-old goddaughter. Previously, a federal jury in New York had convicted him of racketeering and sex trafficking crimes in 2021. Currently, Kelly is serving both 20-year and 30-year sentences for these offenses at the same time.
