R. Kelly’s attorneys filed a motion Saturday for a new trial in his federal case in Chicago, alleging a key witness lied under oath about whether she planned to seek millions in restitution from the singer if he was convicted.
In the filing, Kelly attorney Jennifer Bonjean also argued that federal prosecutors were aware that the woman, who testified under the pseudonym “Jane,” had hired experts to help her seek $13 million in restitution from the singer when she said on the stand that she was noncommittal about her plans and prosecutors did not correct her.
