Overview
- On June 12, Kelly was reportedly given an overdose of medication in solitary confinement at the Federal Correctional Institute in Butner, North Carolina, and was hospitalized the next day.
- Attorney Beau B. Brindley alleges the overdose was intentional and part of a murder-for-hire scheme involving prison officials and Aryan Brotherhood inmate Mikeal Glenn Stine.
- Doctors found blood clots in Kelly’s legs and lungs and recommended surgery, but prison officers removed him from Duke University Hospital before treatment could occur.
- In a detailed June 16 filing, federal prosecutors called his conspiracy allegations “deeply unserious” and “repugnant,” arguing the court lacks jurisdiction to grant his release.
- Kelly remains confined under a combined 30-year sentence and his legal team is appealing to President Trump for a pardon to secure his safety and move him to home detention.
