NEW YORK — R. Kelly is slamming his former lawyers for failing to get jurors removed from his case who had watched the blockbuster docuseries detailing accusations of sexual abuse of minors against the R&B star.
The disgraced R&B superstar, stuck in jail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center awaiting sentencing, wrote an affidavit to the judge in his case saying his lawyers didn’t allow him to even be a part of the jury selection process.
“At certain points during jury selection, I did hear that some jurors may have seen the 'Surviving R. Kelly' docuseries and that concerned me greatly,” Kelly wrote. “I raised my concerns with my attorneys but they shooed me off. I was nothing more than a bystander in the process.”
