R & B sensation, R Kelly has hired Bill Cosby’s senior attorney to help appeal and overturn his sex abuse and racketeering conviction in New York.
According to Chicago Tribune, Jennifer BonJean, a New York based lawyer has filed her appearance in the singer’s case in the US District Court in Brooklyn.
It is the same court where the ‘Trapped in the closet,’ singer R Kelly was convicted on sex abuse and racketeering in September 2021.
The high profile Attorney stated that she will lead Kelly’s appeal and post-conviction motions which have been scheduled for the 1st of November.
Reports say that Bonjean has however, requested a 2-month extension.
The famous attorney led a team that appealed Bill Cosby’s sex crimes conviction in Pennsylvania and secured his release form jail.
In a chat with Chicago Tribune she noted that she is “looking forward to getting familiar with the record” in R Kelly’s case which was spear-headed by Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations Act (RICO) charges.
“I am becoming increasingly concerned with how the government is abusing the RICO statute in order to plead around the statute of limitations and essentially put people’s entire lives on trial,” Bonjean said.
She added that “it’s becoming a formula for the government. You have a right to defend yourself against specific allegations.”
Kelly was convicted of one count of racketeering, with 14 underlying acts that included sexual exploitation of a child, bribery, kidnapping and sex trafficking charges last month. He was also convicted of eight counts of violations of the Mann Act, a sex trafficking law that makes it illegal to move anyone across state lines “for any immoral purpose.”
Kelly’s sentencing is set for May 4, 2022, where he potentially faces 10 years to life in prison.
Last week, a Chicago judge set the date for the child pornography trial that he is facing in his home state. The disgraced singer being accused of recording his sexual encounters with multiple underage girls and bribing possible witnesses with cash and gifts to remain silent about his crimes. He is set to stand trial for those federal sex charges next August.
