Lawyers Allege R. Kelly a Target of 'Overdose' Plot

NEW YORK – Lawyers for R. Kelly (right) said in recent court filings that the criminally convicted American singer suffered an “overdose” of medication at the hands of prison officials.

Kelly, 58, is serving a 30-year prison sentence at a facility in North Carolina. He was found guilty of myriad crimes, including federal racketeering and sex trafficking of minors.

His lawyers alleged in a flurry of filings on June 16 and 17 that Kelly was in solitary confinement when prison staff instructed him to take an “overdose quantity of medication” on June 12.
