R. Kelly was hospitalized for an overdose after prison staff gave him “an amount of medicine that could have killed him” and was later forcibly removed from a hospital against medical advice, his lawyer alleged in a federal court filing Monday.The disgraced singer’s lawyer is requesting that a judge move him to home detention from the North Carolina prison where he his serving his sentences.
“Mr. Kelly’s life is in danger and the threat comes from Bureau of Prisons officers whose duty is to protect him,” his attorney, Beau Brindley, wrote in a court motion.
He alleges the federal Bureau of Prisons is “seeking to kill” Kelly “to cover up crimes committed in the investigation of his case.”
