R. Kelly's Bid for House Arrest: Allegations of Death Threats and Conspiracy
Accusations levied against jail personnel, detailing allegedly unethical conduct - Accusations Levied Against Jail Administrators for Severely Inappropriate Conduct
Here's the lowdown: R&B legend, R. Kelly (58), is pleading for a break from the clink, claiming his life is on the line. His attorney, Beau Brindley, has petitioned the court for a release to house arrest, citing that the convicted sex offender's existence behind bars is a bloody freakin' joke.
According to the emergency filing on June 10, three prison officials are accused of plotting to off him. Makes you wonder if Kelly's really belting out "I Believe I Can Fly" in solitude... or in fear for his life.
Brindley spilled the beans to People magazine, and the court docs got some juicy details too. The motion points the finger at three Bureau of Prisons officers, who, Brindley alleges, orchestrated a hit. One inmate, Mikeal Glenn Stine, backed up the story, claiming that while he was locked up in a joint in Tucson, Arizona, these bigwigs asked him to do a hit on Kelly.
Stine's CV includes being a lifer in the notorious Aryan Brotherhood. allegedly, he's been ordered to orchestrate attacks, beatdowns, and whackjobs at the drop of a hat by one of the guards. So, when the command came to off R. Kelly, Stine was shipped across the U.S. to the Federal Correctional Institute Butner in North Carolina, where Kelly is serving his sentence. And guess what? When Stine arrived, he was welcomed by a guard who told him to do the job he was brought in to do. Promised freedom after knocking off the pop star, what more could he ask for, dying from cancer and all.
But wait, there's more: Stine claims a guard approached him upon arrival and told him to carry out the order. Sounds like a real-life episode of Orange Is the New Black, huh?
Now, here's a twist: While we can't verify if this gang-related hit is legit, it's worth noting that Kelly's lawyer has gone public with these allegations. However, the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and the U.S. Attorney's Office aren't commenting on the accusations.
To make things more interesting, Kelly's peeps claim he was slapped with solitary confinement after shouting out the allegations, but that's still just hearsay.
In a bizarre attempt to play politics, Kelly's lawyers have contacted former President Donald Trump, appealing for help, citing the alleged conspiracy and threats to Kelly's life. But for now, the jury's still out on whether this is a real-life jailbreak drama or just conspiracy theories from a man with a lot to lose.
