R Kelly has asked a judge to let him out of jail due to his failing health. Apparently he’s been suffering from numbness in one of his hands, anxiety and an untreated hernia. His legal team pleaded with the judge saying he’s not a flight risk and he wouldn’t intimidate any witnesses if he was let out. Well the judge didn’t buy it…as R Kelly’s request for bail has been denied.
