R. Kelly Alleges Murder Plot, Seeks Home Detention

News summary

R. Kelly's legal team has filed an emergency motion seeking his immediate transfer from federal prison to home detention, alleging a murder-for-hire plot orchestrated by prison officials using Aryan Brotherhood inmates. Inmate Mikeal Glenn Stine claims officials offered him freedom to kill Kelly, but he warned Kelly instead, and a second gang member was later directed to target both Kelly and Stine. The danger is described as ongoing, as additional Aryan Brotherhood members are reportedly being moved into Kelly's facility. Attorneys accuse prison staff and prosecutors of violating Kelly's constitutional rights by intercepting legal mail and attempting to sway witness testimony. Kelly is serving a 30-year sentence for racketeering, sex trafficking, and related crimes. The court has not yet ruled on the emergency motion, but the allegations have heightened concerns about inmate safety and prison corruption.
