CNN
R. Kelly has been moved from a detention center in Chicago to New York where he will likely stay ahead of his August federal trial as he adds another New York-based attorney to his legal team.
Two sources familiar with the matter said Kelly arrived at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn Tuesday afternoon, and that he will likely stay there until his federal racketeering trial begins in August. CNN has reached out to the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York and to an attorney for Kelly for comment on the move.More Related News
