R. Kelly’s new lawyers are asking a judge to postpone his Aug. 9 sex trafficking trial in New York City, arguing they haven’t had enough time to prepare because he’s under a mandatory jail quarantine since his transfer from Chicago.
In a letter Monday to U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly, lawyer Deveraux Cannick wrote that Kelly’s 14-day quarantine ending Tuesday has exacerbated what Cannick said was a “herculean effort” to get up to speed after their June 21 hiring.
Cannick argued in the letter that Kelly’s new lawyers haven’t been able to meet with him in person because of the quarantine and that proceeding with the R&B star’s trial as scheduled would rob him of effective and meaningful representation.
These sexual predators need to just be locked away. After the failure of the prosecutor’s in the Cosby case fucked that up, I’m losing faith. It’s exhausting and disheartening to women to see injustice in the face of even the strongest evidence. Fuck Cosbey, Fuck R. Kelly, Fuck Harvey, Fuck Trump, Fuck Epstein and the list goes on and on and on 🤬
What a dirty mf’er
