Overview

• Kelly was placed in solitary on June 10 and, his lawyers say, prison staff administered an overdose of his anxiety medication on June 12, leaving him unconscious and rushed to Duke University Hospital on June 13.
• Doctors at Duke University Hospital diagnosed blood clots in his legs and lungs but prison officers removed him before surgeons could perform the recommended procedure.
• On June 16, Kelly’s legal team filed an emergency motion seeking temporary release to home confinement or a pardon, alleging a conspiracy involving Bureau of Prisons officials and Aryan Brotherhood inmates.
• Federal prosecutors have opposed the filing, calling the murder plot allegations “deeply unserious” and arguing that the court lacks jurisdiction to order his release.
• A hearing on Kelly’s emergency motion is scheduled for June 20 and he remains in solitary confinement at FCI Butner, serving a combined 50-year sentence.
