Disgraced singer R Kelly heads back to court to appeal 30-year sentence | YouMagazine
R Kelly claims in his appeal that he didn't have a fair trial and the jury was biased.
Despite the strong evidence against him, Kelly has decided to appeal the conviction and his legal team have approached the appeals court to reverse his convictions or order a new trial. His legal team argues that the government didn’t meet its burden of proof in court, despite having a jury that convicted him on all charges.
His lawyers say that the evidence from his past relationships and testimony from former employees shouldn’t have been considered.
