R. Kelly’s former business manager is asking a federal judge to award him $850,000 in attorneys’ fees after his acquittal last month on charges that he helped the singer illegally rig his 2008 child-pornography trial.
Derrel McDavid rang up that six-figure bill while “defending his freedom,” lawyer Beau Brindley argued. He said $600,000 of that is still outstanding, and McDavid “must now liquidate real property and other assets in an attempt to pay.”
