R. Kelly has a new strategy to get out of prison. He is asking the Supreme Court to overturn his convictions for possession of child pornography and inducing minors to have sex on a technicality. Kelly's legal team argues that the charges shouldn't stand because the alleged crimes occurred decades before the laws he was charged under were introduced. They contend that the 2020 charges are beyond the statute of limitations and that it's unfair to charge him under the 2003 PROTECT Act since it was enacted after the alleged crimes were committed. Now, it's up to the Supreme Court to review the motion for an appeal and decide if it will proceed.
