About this episode

Recording artist R. Kelly is serving a 30-year sentence for his racketeering and sex trafficking conviction. In the last days, the Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal on claims that prosecutors “stretched” the law in the convictions against him. The justices denied an appeal last month. 

Now, Kelly wants to be released to home detention, claiming that federal authorities are plotting to kill Kelly in prison. A defense motion claims Kelly's former cellmate conspired with prison officials to steal mail between him and his attorneys and turn it over to prosecutors before his trial. Kelly's attorneys also claimed prison officials recruited a fellow prison inmate to kill Kelly to keep him from exposing the plot.

  • Lisa Van Allen - Victim, testified against R Kelly
  • Brad M. Micklin, Esq - Lead Attorney and Managing Member, The Micklin Law Group, LLC (Nutley, NJ)
  • Dr. Bethany Marshall- psychoanalyst
