R. Kelly's attorneys request to withdraw from counsel, say it's 'impossible' to 'properly represent' him
Fox News
Two of R. Kelly's attorneys -- Mike Leonard and Steve Greenberg -- have requested to be removed from the star's counsel
In a letter obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times written by Greenberg to Judge Ann Donnelly, the Chicago-based attorney said that should the court deem it fit, he and Leonardo would stand "as effective stand-by counsel." "While we recognize that this request comes close to trial – and we are ready to proceed to trial as scheduled in August – our reasons for withdrawal are significant and it is impossible, in our belief, for us to be able to continue to properly represent Mr. Kelly under the current circumstances," he said.More Related News
