The U.S. Attorney's Office filed court papers saying R Kelly remains on suicide watch 'for his own safety' following a psychological assessment
for using his fame to sexually abuse young girls.
Kelly's"current life circumstances undoubtedly bring emotional distress," Assistant U.S. Attorney Melanie Speight wrote in a court filing. "Nothing occurred during sentencing that came as a surprise to Mr. Kelly," attorney Jennifer Bonjean wrote in the lawsuit."While the conditions of suicide watch may be appropriate for individuals who are truly at risk of hurting themselves, they are cruel and unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment for individuals who are not suicidal."
