#RKelly’s bid to be released to home detention, ruling that she does not have the jurisdiction to rule on his attorneys’ claims that federal authorities are plotting to k-ll him in prison.
Earlier this month, Kelly’s attorneys filed an emergency motion seeking his immediate release to home detention, claiming his life is in danger as he serves a 30-year prison sentence for various s-x crimes.
The motion claims Kelly’s former cellmate at the federal lockup in Chicago conspired with prison officials to steal mail between him and his attorneys, and turn it over to prosecutors before his trial on child p-rnography charges, in order to pit Kelly’s former girlfriend against him.
