R. Kelly depending on handouts in order to hire Michael Jackson’s lawyer

R. Kelly is depending on handouts, (as he has been) in order to hire Tom Mesereau, who represented Michael Jackson in his child molestion case.

According to TMZ, R. Kelly, whose real name is Robert Kelly, is very desperate and has been receiving money from fans and those in the music industry.

The 52-year-old singer reportedly already met with Mesereau last week as reported by TMZ.

The crazy part is that the singer is being represented by Steven Greenberg, and in order for Mesereau to get on board, Greenberg would have to hit the road.

Yikes.

Mesereau helped Michael Jackson get acquitted in his child molestation case back in 2005, and he also represented actor Robert Blake that same year, who was being accused of murdering his wife. Blake was found not guilty.
