The judge said R. Kelly remains a 'flight risk.'
R. Kelly's effort to get out of federal jail due to his coronavirus fears was nixed Tuesday on grounds he had demonstrated"no compelling reasons" for a temporary release and he remains a"flight risk."
Kelly's lead attorney, Steve Greenberg, emailed a face-palming emoji symbolizing disappointment in response. Kelly is locked up in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago awaiting trials on multiple sex-crime charges in four jurisdictions in three states, including in the Northern District in Illinois and in the Eastern District of New York.
Moreover, she wrote, 53-year-old Kelly is not in the category of people the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has declared most at risk for contracting the coronavirus. He cited a recent surgery during his time locked up but did not explain how that places him at a higher risk of illness, she wrote.
