R. Kelly Rushed to Hospital After Overdose as Lawyer Doubles Down on Prison Murder-for-Hire Plot [View all]
R&B singer R. Kelly is back in solitary confinement in a North Carolina prison after being hospitalized over an apparent drug overdose, according to a filing from his lawyer, who has doubled down on claims that officials with the local Board of Prisons are plotting to kill his client in a murder-for-hire scheme.
Kelly, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, was taken to Duke University Hospital in Durham, N.C., after a lethal level of his medication was given to him by prison officials where he is serving time at the Federal Correctional Institute facility in Butner, N.C., according to court documents filed by Kelly’s attorney on Tuesday.
“Mr. Kelly needs this court’s intervention. His life actually depends on it,” wrote Beau Brindley, the inmate and singer’s attorney.
According to the filing, the 58-year-old woke up on June 13 with black spots in his vision. Kelly tried to get up, but fell to the ground. He then “crawled to the door of the cell and lost consciousness,” the filing states. The document alleges that prison staff had given him an “overdose quantity” of medication on June 12. He was taken to Duke University Hospital after medical officials at the prison were unable to assist him.
Kelly remained in the hospital for two days and was set to have surgery for blood clots, according to his attorney, which would mean the inmate would remain in the hospital for two weeks. However, when officers assigned to Kelly at the hospital informed FCI Butner officials of this, “within an hour, officers with guns came into his hospital room and removed him.”

R. Kelly deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison.
However, the prison is not entitled to kill him, and it seems they are trying to do just that.
