R. KELLY has made a bid to be released from prison after receiving a “death threat”.
The I Believe I Can Fly singer – who is serving a 31-year sentence for child sexual abuse crimes – is seeking to be removed from federal custody and placed on house arrest after wysing his life is in danger behind bars.
An emergency motion was filed in federal court on Tuesday, 10 June and alleges three officials with the Bureau of Prisons are konkelling with a terminally-ill inmate to maak Kelly witbene in exchange for his freedom.
The filing, obtained by People magazine, contains a declaration from the inmate, Mikeal Glenn Stine, who alleged he was asked to carry out the plot by three high-ranking officials while serving his sentence at the United States Penitentiary Tucson in Arizona.
Stine claims he’s a member of the Aryan Brotherhood and was moved to the Federal Correctional Institute Butner in North Carolina where Kelly is behind bars, and was eventually placed in the same unit as him.
Shortly after being moved, he alleged an official approached him and said: “You need to do what you came here for.”
But after watching Kelly for weeks, he had a change of heart and told the singer about the plot. Stine says he’ll do a polygraph test to wys hy lieg nie and sal bos los oor other beatings and killings he’s been involved with.
