R. Kelly
R. Kelly’s legal team has filed an emergency motion seeking his immediate release from prison.
The singer recently cited credible threats to his life within the North Carolina prison where he is serving a 30-year sentence for sex crimes.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, there have been several allegations of a murder-for-hire plot involving prison officials and inmates targeting the disgraced singer.
R. Kelly’s motion includes a sworn statement from Mikeal Glenn Stine, a terminally ill inmate and leader of the Aryan Brotherhood gang, who said authorities offered him freedom in exchange for killing the singer.
Glenn said that prison officials actually promised him a breakout if he carried out the hit, with the plan including a staged cover-up of the murder.
The documents added that Glenn personally warned Kelly about the plot in March after he decided not to carry it out, and he expressed his readiness to take a polygraph test and testify.
Whether R. Kelly’s fear for his life inside prison will appear genuine enough to facilitate his release from prison remains to be seen.
WOW.
