R. Kelly’s defense attorney asked a federal judge Friday to hand the twice-convicted R&B superstar a sentence that would not add to the decades he is already expected to serve behind bars.
Jennifer Bonjean asked U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber to give Kelly, 56, a sentence of around 11 years. But she also asked that the judge fashion the sentence so Kelly would serve that time while also serving his 30-year sentence for a 2021 federal racketeering conviction in New York.
