According to singer R. Kelly’s lawyer, the reason why he didn’t appear in court was because nobody came to get him…
Yikes.
Kelly’s attorney Steve Greenberg told Billboard “He’s in federal custody and it’s incumbent on the state to get him to Cook County… I can’t drive over in my Maserati and pick him up and they didn’t do it,” he then added “They claimed he refused to come when nobody came to get him. What they said was just not true. It was the State’s Attorney lying to over up their own screw-up over the fact that they didn’t get him.”
The 52-year-old singer, whose real name is Robert Kelly, is facing charges both in New York and Chicago.
Kelly has been in jail on racketeering and child pornography charges that stem from New York and Illinois.
