R. Kelly’s legal team will file a motion this week to overturn his federal conviction, claiming newly uncovered evidence will help him avoid his 30-year prison sentence.

R. Kelly’s legal troubles began with a string of federal charges, including ch*ld cornography and enticement of minors, which led to his conviction in New York and a separate sentence in Chicago.

He was sentenced to 30 years in June 2022. The defense claims the new evidence will dismantle the legitimacy of his conviction.

“Unfortunately for government counsel, there will be no jurisdictional refuge from that motion and the truth it will uncover. From that, try as they might, there will be no technical argument behind which government counsel can hide,” R. Kelly’s lawyer Beau B. Brindley said.

In a court filing obtained by AllHipHop on Monday (June 16), Brindley alleged that Kelly was overdosed on medication just two days after he publicly accused prison staff of conspiring with white supremacists to orchestrate his death.

The incident, according to the defense, was followed by a forced removal from a hospital at gunpoint and a denial of surgery for blood clots in his lungs.

The defense argues that the government has failed to directly address these accusations, instead brushing them off as standard medical issues.

Kelly’s legal team has also filed an emergency motion for temporary furlough, citing ongoing threats to his life and health. The motion is part of a broader strategy to challenge the conviction on both factual and procedural grounds.

Brindley stated that the upcoming motion will not be vulnerable to dismissal based on jurisdiction or technicalities, adding that his team is securing local counsel to address any potential jurisdictional concerns.
