Lawyers Fight to Get R. Kelly Out of Solitary Confinement


Earlier this month embattled R&B singer R. Kelly's lawyer claimed the singer was not doing well in solitary confinement while awaiting trial on charges of sexually abusing minors [click here if you missed that].

This week R. Kelly's legal team filed a motion to have him moved to general population...
 
According to reports R. Kelly's lawyer argued that his current conditions violate the cruel and unusual punishment standards of the Eight Amendment.
“He has no meaningful interaction with human beings, no time outside getting sunlight, no access to media, no recreational activities, no face-to-face visitations that are not recorded, showering only 3 days a week.”
The ruling in pending.
