A federal judge on Thursday denied an emergency request from former R&B singer R. Kelly to be released from prison to home confinement, amid allegations from the disgraced music star earlier this month that prison officials were trying to kill him.
Kelly, who is serving a 30-year sentence on racketeering and sex crime charges in a North Carolina prison, brought the request to the wrong court, Judge Martha Pacold ruled.
