Grammy-winning R&B singer R. Kelly has appealed his sex crime sentence to the US Supreme Court.
The disgraced artist, who is currently serving time in prison for multiple counts of sexual abuse, is seeking a review of his case by the highest court in the country.
R. Kelly’s legal team argues that his convictions were the result of a biased trial and that his constitutional rights were violated during the proceedings.
They believe that crucial evidence was withheld from the jury and that the judge’s rulings were unjust.
The appeal comes after R. Kelly was found guilty on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and coercion of minors.
He was sentenced to 30 years in prison last year, following a high-profile trial that captured the nation’s attention.
The singer, best known for hits like “I Believe I Can Fly” and “Ignition (Remix),” has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct and has maintained his innocence throughout the legal process.
However, his appeal to the Supreme Court represents his latest effort to overturn his convictions and secure his release from prison.
It remains to be seen whether the Supreme Court will agree to hear R. Kelly’s case, but the outcome could have far-reaching implications for the future of his legal battles.
