Lawyer claims prison staff gave the R&B hitmaker a 'deadly overdose' of pille
"THIS was no mistake". This is the shocking claim by R Kelly's lawyer, who says that prison staff tried to kill the disgraced R&B superstar with an overdose of anxiety pille.
According to a new filing by his attorney, Beau Brindley, the 58-year-old singer — who is serving 30 years in a North Carolina prison for sex trafficking and racketeering — was placed in isolation on 10 June with his anxiety medication.
After being given more medication by prison staff, he lost consciousness three days later and was taken to Duke University Hospital on 13 June.
After two days under observation, he was taken back to the mang.
