The singer is now expected to stand trial in Chicago next month where he is still facing child pornography and obstruction-of-justice charges along with two other state cases. With the possibility of Kelly losing his upcoming trials, one of Kelly's lawyers not involved in his New York case has said Kelly could pursue a plea deal.
Kelly's Chicago federal trial is slated for August 15 and is expected to garner interest with so many of his accusers living in the city. He will stand trial with two other co-defendants on charges they fixed his 2008 child pornography trial. Kelly was acquitted in this case.
