R. Kelly expected to appear in Chicago court Wednesday
Lawyers for R. Kelly move to dismiss state charges against him in court Wednesday.
CHICAGO - No motions were heard for the R. Kelly case Wednesday in Chicago court.
Lawyers for the R&B singer are expected to move for a dismissal of charges against him.
The charges are from accusations of sexual abuse of young girls dating back to 1998 and 2003.
His lawyers believe they should be dropped because they carry a lighter potential sentence than the federal charges he was convicted of last year.
R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his New York trial.
