Singer R. Kelly petitions US Supreme Court to overturn sex crime convictions, citing statute of limitations.

Singer R. Kelly has petitioned the US Supreme Court to overturn his convictions for sex crimes, arguing that his alleged misconduct had occurred decades ago and the charges were barred by the statute of limitations. Kelly's attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, is arguing that the 2003 PROTECT Act, which made the statute of limitations indefinite for child sex crimes, does not apply to crimes committed before 2003.
