R. Kelly’s bid to delay his sentencing in New York bashed by federal prosecutors: 'Victims have cleared their schedules'
“As proven at trial, the defendant engaged in wide-ranging and extensive criminal conduct, involving multiple victims, with impunity for decades. His victims have waited years to see the defendant held to account and sentenced for his crimes,” Assistant U.S. Attorneys Elizabeth A. Geddes, Nadia I. Shihata, and Maria Cruz Melendez wrote in the letter.
The prosecutors further argued that it “strains credulity” to claim that after Kelly “has essentially challenged every aspect of his conviction,” he might all of a sudden “say anything to a potential mitigation expert that would incriminate him in the [Northern District of Illinois] matter.” But either way, the court could address his “speculative concern” by allowing the defense to file all or part of any potential mitigation report under seal.
