EDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 9 – After the conviction
and sentencing of R.Kelly in
the Eastern District of New
York, on July 18 jury
selection became for the trial
of his associate Donnell
Russell for threats to try to
stop a screening of the
documentary "Surviving
R.Kelly." As with the EDNY
trial (below), but in more
detail, Inner City Press live
tweeted the second and last
day ( first day here)
of jury selection here.
On July 22,
Russell was found guilty of
interstate threat, and
sentencing was set for
November 21 at 10 am. Thread
here and below.
On August 4 in
EDNY, the US asked for an
order to the Bureau of Prisons
to turn over the $28,000 in R.
Kelly's account to it. Letter
and draft order on Inner City
Press' DocumentCloud here.
On August 10, R.
Kelly's lawyer fired back.

Press' DocumentCloud here.
On September 9,
Judge Ann Donnelly granted the
Government's request: "As it
stands, the defendant has not
paid his $900 special
assessment, $100,000 fine or
$40,000 JTVA assessment. (ECF
No. 326-1.) There is no dispute
that these amounts are
outstanding; nor is there any
dispute that the funds in the
defendant’s trust account,
totaling $28,328.24, constitute
“substantial resources” within
the meaning of 18 U.S.C. §
3664(n).3 Thus, the government’s
request is authorized by section
3664(n)’s plain terms,...Within
ten days of the date of this
order, the BOP must issue a
check to the Clerk of the Court
for the Eastern District of New
York for $27,828.24. The check
should be made payable to the
“Clerk of the Court, EDNY” and
reference “U.S. v. Kelly, No.
19-cr-286.” The check should be
mailed to: Clerk of the Court
Eastern District of New York
United States Courthouse 225
Cadman Plaza East Brooklyn, New
York 11201."

EDNY case is US v.
Robert Sylvester Kelly, a/k/a R.
Kelly, EDNY Dkt No. 19-cr-286
