Kelly’s legal professional, Jennifer Bonjean, known as the ruling “unprecedented” and mentioned that she believes the Supreme Court docket of the USA will agree to listen to an additional enchantment.
This week’s resolution has to do with Kelly’s New York federal case, however the disgraced R&B singer was additionally convicted, in a Chicago federal courtroom, of manufacturing baby pornography and attractive women for intercourse. The Supreme Court docket declined to listen to an enchantment of his 20-year sentence in that case.
