R. Kelly is tunnel-visioned on regaining his freedom despite the latest denial.
The R&B singer and his legal team are taking his recent loss in court on the chin with a resolve to bounce back harder and apply more pressure to secure his release.
R. Kelly has made several moves towards his freedom lately, including a plea to Donald Trump for clemency due to increasing threats on his life behind bars.
The singer's lawyer, Beau B. Brindley, declared that he is not sitting around moping about their loss in court. Instead, he will swing into immediate action by filing a new motion to ensure Kelly's release from prison.
The presiding judge, Martha Pacold, threw out Kelly's emergency motion for temporary furlough due to lack of jurisdiction. The motion was reportedly filed in the Northern District of Illinois, where Kelly was sentenced.
However, in Kelly's filing, the incidents he cited occurred in Arizona and North Carolina, where he is currently held in custody at the federal prison in Butner.
Brindley noted that they had seen the loss coming on technical grounds, but swift recourse would be taken due to the delicate nature of the matter, which, according to him, had Kelly's life hanging by a thread.
As reported by PEOPLE, the lawyer commented on the disturbing state of Kelly's health when he visited him on June 18, saying:
"Mr. Kelly remains in prison with blood clots in his lungs — this threatens his life every minute that he is denied the surgical intervention (pulmonary embolectomy) that Duke University hospital doctors sought to perform, but were prevented from executing," Brindley claims. The danger could not be more imminent."
Brindley had established in his emergency motion that Kelly was placed in solitary confinement after he spoke up as punishment. It was there that Brindley claimed a prison official fed him a toxic mix of substances under the guise of administering him his medication.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Julien, however, set the record straight on Brindley's narrative. According to Julien, solitary confinement was activated for Kelly to ensure his protection in prison.
Julien reiterated that Kelly is a child molester with records of criminal and sexual abuse against children, which date back to President Bill Clinton's first term in office.
The attorney noted that Kelly's crimes had occurred years before he was brought to book, and he has never taken responsibility for his actions or shown remorse.
Brindley and his team painted a vivid picture of Kelly struggling for his life after the effects of the dangerous cocktail kicked in. Describing solitary confinement as forcefully imposed on his client, he explained that three prison officials were in on the plan.
The Blast shared that the attorney accused the prison officials of hatching a plan to eliminate Kelly with the help of another inmate who had access to him.
Kelly reportedly woke up feeling weak and dizzy on June 13 after ingesting the substance the day before. His vision also became blurry, and his knees gave way when he attempted to stand up, causing him to fall.
He put in the final push when he crawled up to the door of the cell in a bid to get help, but he lost consciousness while at it. The singer was eventually transported to the Duke University Hospital after prison medical personnel failed to help him.
Kelly spent two days in admission before the prison authorities allegedly forcefully extracted him back to prison against the doctor's advice.
This is not Kelly's first time pointing accusing fingers at prison officials for their misconduct regarding his case.
In 2023, he claimed they collaborated with Tasha K, a famous blogger, to spill sensitive information about his case to the public on the premise that they would get a financial settlement.
As a result of this move, Kelly noted that the leaking started in 2019 after they taped his phone calls, visitor logs, email correspondence, and other private information.
He added that Tasha K and her team also fabricated stories against him with the access they gained to his records. These false stories and weaponized narratives reportedly caused him psychological stress and emotional discomfort.
Kelly and his attorney blamed the United States government for failing to take necessary security precautions and instead granted unbridled access to his details.
The "The Storm Is Over" singer's call for clemency unearthed a significant episode in his story, which revolves around his former partner and her current standing with her family.
As reported by The Blast, Joycelyn Savage, who was once engaged to the disgraced singer, has been cut off from contact with her family for approximately six years. Her family connected her behavior to the trauma of her experience with Kelly during their time together.
The family's attorney, Gerald Griggs, explained that Savage is still under Kelly's mental control and has not found a way to get out of that cycle. The last time she was in direct contact with her family was a brief phone conversation in 2019.
Now, her loved ones can only communicate with her representatives, who have also not clarified their connection to her. For the Savage family, 31 years is not even enough for him to face the consequences of his crimes against children and others around him.
What will be R. Kelly's next move?
