R. Kelly's Bid for Prison Release Due to Coronavirus Denied
swung hard to get out of jail over fears he'd catch COVID-19 ... but he struck out 'cause the judge just denied his request.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge said among the several reasons why the disgraced singer will NOT get out of jail is because he's still a flight risk. The judge said"[Kelly] is currently in custody because of the risks that he will flee or attempt to obstruct, threaten or intimidate prospective witnesses. The defendant has not explained how those risks have changed.
As for Kelly's fears he'll catch COVID-19 if he remains behind bars ... the judge said there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at MCC in Chicago where Kelly's penned up. The judge also points to measures taken by the Bureau of Prisons in combating the spread of the virus in its prisons ... like suspending all social visits and suspending inmate facility transfers.
What's more ... the judge says she ain't buying Kelly's part of the at-risk group cause he"is fifty-three years old, twelve years younger than the cohort of 'older adults' defined by the CDC as at high risk."
