R Kelly’s Battle For Freedom Hits Another Roadblock As Judge Denies Home Detention Request

H

R Kelly’s uphill battle to win a reprieve and restart his life outside prison walls suffered a blow after a federal judge dismissed his latest request to be released to home detention. The shamed singer, who is serving a substantial 30-year sentence for offenses linked to the sexual abuse and exploitation of minors, is still locked up as he fights his conviction. Earlier this month, Kelly’s lawyer filed an emergency motion, requesting that the court allow him to serve his time at home.

They wanted him released from prison to serve the rest of his sentence under home detention. However, U.S. District Judge Martha M. Pacold rejected the idea, pointing to continuing reservations about the danger Kelly could still present to the public. In her ruling, Judge Pacold was emphatic, “Kelly has not produced any argument or evidence, much less clear and convincing evidence, challenging finding or indicating that circumstances have changed such that Kelly is no longer a flight risk or a danger to the community.” This comment underscores the court’s position that nothing that has thus far been presented has given the court any reason to change their position as to Kelly’s risk level.

The fight is far from over, although the home detention request was denied. Kelly’s attorneys are still reviewing a motion for a new trial. This petition is based upon these serious allegations that could rock the ground of his conviction. Kelly contends that a critical witness was paid off to change her story, a move that could undermine the prosecution’s case. And he has leveled a stunning charge that prison officials sought to have another prisoner kill him in return for that prisoner’s custody. If true, these allegations could fundamentally alter the rotation of Kelly’s legal fight.

For now, the judge’s decision has kept Kelly locked up and forced him to wage his legal battle inside a cell. With no end in sight, the never-ending series of events adds another strange chapter to the long and strange post-music career of one of the most controversial men in the music industry in recent memory and constantly reminds us that though there’s been some justice for the time being, the saga has reached no end but more justice. Whether Kelly’s motion for a new trial will get any traction is yet to be seen, but his battle for freedom is far from over.
