R. Kelly Gets Extended Prison Time

CHICAGO (AP) – R. Kelly has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for child pornography and enticement in Chicago, but he will serve 19 of those years at the same time as his New York sentence. U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber (LY’-nen-web-er) ordered Kelly to serve one year in prison after he is finished serving 30 years in New York for racketeering. That means Kelly, who is 56, could be eligible for release around the age of 80. Kelly only spoke briefly to the judge regarding court documents. His lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, says she advised Kelly not to speak as he continues to appeal his convictions.
