R Kelly’s Prison Release Request Denied The Third Time

Judge Denies R Kelly Prison Release Request Again

Disgraced R&B singer R Kelly, has been trying hard to get out of prison, using the coronavirus outbreak as an excuse, Kelly had earlier complained that he has to buy his own antibacterial soap.

About a week ago, R Kelly requested for another early prison release for the third time, due to the growing number of Coronavirus cases.

Unfortunately, his request has reportedly been denied by a judge. U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly ruled Tuesday that the embattled singer remains a flight risk and could possibly “intimidate prospective witnesses” if he’s released.

The incarcerated singer allegedly has a history of blackmailing and intimidating potential witnesses.

“The risks associated with the defendant’s release have not changed,” Donnelly wrote. “The defendant continues to downplay the risk that he might flee, citing his attendance record in connection with the 2002 state criminal charges against him.”

The judge added, “Even aside from the risk of flight, the risk that the defendant would try to obstruct justice or intimidate prospective witnesses has not dissipated, and poses a danger to the community.”
