R. Kelly's Lawyer Says Singer Missed Hearing In Sex Abuse Case Because 'Nobody Came To Get Him
Juicy J Announces Three 6 Mafia Reunion Tour
R. Kelly was conspicu- ously absent during a court pre-trial hearing in his ongo- ing sex abuse case in Chicago on Thursday (Aug. 15). The singer (born Robert Kelly), 52, who has been behind bars for more than a month on racketeering and child pornography charges in New York and Illinois, was a no- show at the status hearing for the multiple counts of sexual assault pending against him in Cook County, Illinois, a sit- uation his attorney tells Bill- board was not his client's fault.
"He's in federal custody and it's incumbent on the state to get him to Cook County... I can't drive over in my Maserati and pick him up and they didn't do it," attor- ney Steve Greenberg tells Billboard. "They claimed he refused to come when nobody came to get him.

over the fact that they didn't get him." A spokesperson for the Cook County State's Attor- ney office did not return re- quests for comment at press time.
According to WTTW in Chicago, Kelly refused to be transported to the courtroom in the Leighton Criminal Court Building for the pro- ceeding, a situation that re- portedly angered Cook County Judge Lawrence Flood,
who insisted that the singer "has to be here"; Flood could not be reached for comment at press time. Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Jen- nifer Gonzalez reportedly told Flood that transportation had been arranged to bring Kelly from the federal correc- tion center where he's being held, leading Flood to delay ruling on Gonzalez's at- tempt to increase bond re- quirements on Kelly.
