They built a case around fabricated evidence and then concealed exculpatory evidence. My client spent 12 years in the Cook County Jail PENDING trial. Obscene
BREAKING: Cook County prosecutors are dropping all charges against Tyrone Clay and Edgardo Colon in the 2011 murder of Chicago Police Officer Clifton Lewis. Clay has been jailed without trial for more than 11 years. In court right now, Clay is weeping, his head is in his hands.
Spoke to R. Kelly today. He is hanging tough. Still working on getting his email privileges restored. He asked me to send his love to his fans. He remains grateful for all the support, letters, magazines etc.

#RKelly
today! He is doing well despite the limitations placed on his ability to communicate. Sends mad love to his fans. We have big things coming by way of a civil lawsuit! Hoping for an argument date soon in the Second Circuit. Stay a tuned.
Accusations are not fact. It’s not hard to make an accusation, particularly about something that allegedly happened 50 years ago. 🙄 That mainstream media eats this up like candy without any real vetting is embarrassing.
Spoke to RK yesterday. He again thanks everyone for their continued support. On advice of counsel, he will not be doing interviews for the time being as we prepare to file our lawsuit. Look forward to sharing it!
Another frivolous lawsuit against R.Kelly tossed! Bye girl. The criminal courts need to start doing the right thing! We won’t stop fighting either way until we
#freeRKelly
Had a great call with R.Kelly today. Despite his inability to message, he is grateful for the mail he receives and the donations to his commissary which is the BEST way to support him. Do not give money to 3rd parties. Send directly to him.
Be WARY of people
Who claim to speak for R.Kelly. If it doesn’t come from his mouth or his lawyers, it may not be credible. There are people out here speaking for him who don’t even communicate with him.
In other news, we are filing R. Kelly’s cert. petition to US Supreme Court asking the court to review his Chicago conviction!
@LegallyAco
will be visiting him tomorrow as we gear up for depositions in his case against the BOP.
We are disappointed to announce that the 7th circuit today affirmed Robert’s Northern District conviction and sentence. Make no mistake about it, this does not mark the end of this fight! Robert remains in good spirits and we are just getting started.

. If someone is suggesting that I’m making statements on another platform, don’t trust it. Snakes everywhere.
#freerkelly
Another reminder that the Bonjean Law Group will not solicit money for Mr. Kelly. This post is yet another fake impersonation of me. There are snakes everywhere profiting off of Mr. Kelly and re-victimizing him. These people claim to be his most ardent fans. They are liars.
Let me reiterate that if you want to support R.Kelly you can put money on his books directly with his register # (09627-035) directions here ⬇️
He appreciates the love and support more than ever in these very difficult times!

@LegallyAco
and I spent the day with R.Kelly. He looks great and was in good spirits. He sends his love to the fans who always had his back ❤️ We still have legal battles ahead (stay tuned next week 😎) I keep getting asked whether you can put $ on his books. Yes!
#freerkelly
Clients sometimes ask “Can I sue a judge?” I normally say “probably not because they enjoy absolute immunity” but guess what? A judge who acts outside the context of a “judicial act” or who acts maliciously or corruptly in excess of her authority may lose her absolute immunity.
Another win today! All charges dismissed against our client Tyrone Clay who has spent 12 years in custody wrongfully for the shooting of Off-Duty Police Officer Lewis. Maybe CPD can now go find the real killers.
How is it that the same people who clamor about “fake news” are also the people who insist that some unsourced statement on a blog somewhere proves a fact they want to prove. Too dumb to understand how truly moronic they are.
People there are at least three accounts pretending to be me right now and asking for money for R.Kelly. I have reported them. Please don’t give money to any account pretending to be me or my firm.
Hallelujah! Finally…. Justice delayed for BLG client Reggie Henderson and his brother Sean Tyler. Now it’s time for accountability.

that prosecutors including the head of the CIU will not voluntarily testify at a hearing about THEIR misconduct citing the “work product privilege” That’s a good one.
Isn’t this rich? The prosecutors who were removed from this case have now lawyered up and don’t want to testify on the eve of a hearing that will expose massive misconduct. Not sure why
@KimFoxx
is condoning this on the county’s dime.
A detainee was found dead inside of his cell on Rikers Island early Sunday morning, marking the seventh death inside the embattled jail this year — and the fourth this month.
Excited for this hearing! Mr. Hoover has been locked in a concrete box for almost 30 years. The court was right to permit him to appear and meaningfully participate in a hearing that may determine whether he dies in that box.
NEW: Gangster Disciples founder Larry Hoover has a 9/26 hearing date in front of a new judge in his bid for a sentencing break. And, the judge told prosecutors to "make Mr. Hoover present in person" in what would be an extremely rare public appearance:
@ElliotSlosar
Absolute immunity needs to go for prosecutors and judges. I think there is a significant portion of the population from all political sides who would agree with this.
What is unsettling is summoning the mob against your famous ex by posting private (cherry-picked) texts from a year ago when you didn’t set your OWN boundaries. It was 2022 not 1950 🥴 And why are we privy to this? Talk to your shrink and leave us out of it.
Jonah Hill's weaponizing the language of therapy to passive-aggressively belittle, shame, & condemn his girlfriend casts an unsettling light on his documentary about his own "growth" in therapy. JH isn't setting "boundaries." His text is textbook Coercive Control.

I am not an entertainment lawyer as you all know but I will always have Robert’s back on everything he needs. So you can be damned sure I’m paying attention to more than his criminal/civil cases and making sure he is informed and gets the legal support he needs.
@bswagspeare
@TheSource
A news article is not the official record. 🙄 If you don’t want to take his lawyer’s word for it, look at the actual indictment or judgment of conviction. That’s the official record! He was convicted of sexual exploitation - not sex trafficking. They are two different crimes.
Isn’t it funny that “South Africa” is the most trending term on Twitter, yet you’d struggle to find a single article about the International Court of Justice case on BBC News.
And by funny … I mean extremely disturbing.
4th of July in NYC. Everyone from here leaves. Everyone who can’t drive or walk in accordance with our rules arrives. It’s like we give the city to a bunch of novices for the weekend. 🙄
@dattdude4real
This is not accurate. The statutory maximum is 20 in IL. He can’t get more than what he already has if the case is reversed in NY which is why we are challenging this sentence.
Sexton has engaged in a pattern and practice of misconduct as set forth in our Post Conviction petition in Devon Daniels case (a Kato case). I will make it available to anyone interested in seeing the pleading.
One of Trutenko’s attorneys, Brian Sexton, also a former prosecutor, has been implicated in his own misconduct in a separate wrongful conviction case.
Go figure.
This verdict is stupid. But this is a great example of why you hire smart attorneys and you listen to them rather than hiring your fans who just tell you want you want to hear Trump's 'Best Defamation Ever' Defense Bombed in E. Jean Carroll Case
Ok so Wyoming is apparently an evil place that allows its citizenry to torture and kill baby wildlife. Whining about migrants coming across the border for a better life while casually torturing animals for funsies! Sickos.
#boycottwyoming
I would be disappointed if anyone were to paint Wyoming with a broad brush and suggest that Wyoming citizens condone the reckless, thoughtless and heinous actions of one individual. 3/3
@dattdude4real
It’s a good question. But if he wins in NY, he will still have to serve a 20 year sentence in IL if we don’t challenge it. While there is some risk, he still wants to challenge this 20 year sentence as most people would. The sentence doesn’t go away if he wins in NY.
@CoffindafferFBI
We know you like to pretend to be a lawyer but please stop. Defendants don’t shout anything from the roof tops. They shut the fuck up. That’s what he’s doing. Defense will make any alibi disclosures when it is appropriate.
I've been around the federal courts for a long time now, but a judge asking Gangster Disciples boss Larry Hoover how many murders he's actually responsible for was a Top 5 moment.

@CoffindafferFBI
There are always scheduling orders. But sometimes evidence is developed later. That’s how investigations go. Eventually it will be too late (like in the middle of trial) but the defense is not worried. They aren’t getting barred from an alibi defense at any point prior to trial.
@CoffindafferFBI
I don’t need a website to tell my that if he develops evidence of an alibi, even on the eve of trial, no judge is precluding it. Well at least any judge who wants a conviction to stick. Even a police officer like yourself should know that.
