Chicago singer R. Kelly's lawyers asked to delay filing post-trial motions because the former R&B star was diagnosed with COVID.
Attorney Jennifer Bonjean asked U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly Tuesday for a two-week extension, until Feb. 17 to file Kelly's post-trial motions.
She said the MDC in Brooklyn, where Kelly is being held until his sentencing in May, indefinitely suspended all jail visits nearly a month ago, and Kelly's COVID-19 diagnosis interfered with his ability to speak with counsel by telephone.
