Teletubby 150,309 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 R. Kelly’s new lawyers are asking a judge to postpone his August 9 trial in New York, arguing they haven’t had enough time to prepare because he’s under a mandatory jail quarantine since he arrived in Brooklyn on June 22 from Chicago, where he was being held on similar charges. His lawyer Cannick wrote to U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly, that Kelly’s 14-day quarantine ending Tuesday has exacerbated what Cannick said was a “herculean effort” to get up to speed after their June 21 hiring. Cannick argued in the letter that R. Kelly’s new lawyers haven’t been able to meet with him in person because of the quarantine and that proceeding with singer’s trial as scheduled would rob him of effective and meaningful representation. “Robert is anxious to have his day in court; however not at the expense of his Sixth Amendment rights,” Cannick wrote, saying the request was not a delay tactic. source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
