After R. Kelly is hospitalized, his lawyer blames OD-levels of medication on a plot to murder his client that was alleged last week. Feds call that 'fanciful.'

Prison staff gave R. Kelly "an amount of medicine that could have killed him," his lawyer alleged in a federal court filing.

Kelly collapsed in prison and was hospitalized, attorneys said in court filings this week, adding the details to the singer’s extraordinary allegations of a murder plot by prison officials that he argues require temporary release on home detention. Government lawyers have dismissed the claims as a “fanciful conspiracy.”
