R. Kelly and his team have just gotten the news they were apparently trying to avoid from receiving just moments earlier, regarding his pending 10-count sex abuse case in Illinois.
In case y’all hadn’t heard, on Tuesday, May 7, 2019, Kellz and his legal team were “steppin’ in the name of” a legal challenge, all the way to a Chicago courthouse, to oppose Cook County’s State Attorney and prosecutor, Michael Avenatti. About an hour or so later, R. Kelly and his team learned that they’ll be steppin’ right back into the courtroom approximately one month from now, to plead his case in trial.
What Had Happened Was…
R. Kelly and lawyers appeared in court Tuesday, to point out the shady ethical practices that have recently surfaced about two of the main figures spearheading the 10-count sex abuse case against him- State attorney, Kim Foxx and opposing prosecutor, Michael Avenatti.
Kelly’s lawyers argued that given Foxx’s and Avenatti’s now questionable reputations, the authenticity of sex tape(s) they claim to have of R. Kelly having sex with an underaged girl is also questionable.
“The Bump N’ Grind” singer’s team also requested that the judge ‘preserve’ all texts between Foxx and Avenatti. However, Avenatti, claims he presented all of the text communication between him and Foxx in the Chicago Tribune weeks ago, claiming that there are no more.
There’s more. Kelly’s legal docs pointed out that Avenatti has now publicly confessed that he and Foxx had several conversations and that given the suspected corruption n Empire actor, Jussie Smollett’s case, Kelly suggests that Avenatti is “able to be influenced and wowed.”
