Overview

• On June 13, Kelly collapsed in his isolation cell and was rushed to Duke University Hospital after prison staff allegedly administered an overdose of his anxiety medication.
• Doctors found dangerous blood clots in Kelly’s lungs and legs and recommended surgery that he was denied when armed officers returned him to the Federal Correctional Institute in Butner.
• In a June 10 emergency motion, Kelly’s legal team alleged that prison officials conspired with Aryan Brotherhood inmate Mikeal Glenn Stine—offering early release in exchange for his murder.
• Federal prosecutors filed a response on June 16 dismissing the conspiracy claims as “repugnant” and “fanciful” and arguing that the Chicago court lacks jurisdiction over his North Carolina confinement.
• Kelly remains in solitary confinement at FCI Butner as his lawyers continue to seek a presidential pardon from President Trump, citing ongoing safety and medical concerns.
