R. Kelly petitions Supreme Court to throw out sex crime convictions

R. Kelly is petitioning the Supreme Court to appeal his federal sex crimes convictions while serving over a 30-year prison sentence in North Carolina.
Defense attorney Jennifer Bonjean claims R. Kelly's Chicago conviction for possessing child pornography should be dismissed, arguing the charges are barred by the statute of limitations.
Bonjean's petition asserts the conduct occurred in the 1990s, before changes to the law, and challenges its retroactive application, saying his charges were time barred.
