Overview

• Serving a 30-year sentence for racketeering and sex trafficking at FCI Butner, Kelly saw his emergency motion for home detention denied by Judge Martha Pacold on June 19 for lack of jurisdiction.
• Kelly’s attorneys allege that federal prison officials recruited Aryan Brotherhood member Mikeal Glenn Stine to murder him in exchange for a promise of freedom.
• Kelly was admitted to Duke University Hospital on June 13 after what his lawyers described as an overdose of his medication and was diagnosed with blood clots before being returned to prison against medical advice.
• Beau Brindley, Kelly’s lawyer, says he will file a new motion to vacate Kelly’s convictions based on what he calls newly discovered evidence of official misconduct.
• Brindley has also requested a pardon from President Trump, arguing that only presidential intervention can protect Kelly from the alleged threats.
