Federal prosecutors want the Chicago sentence to be consecutive to the 30 years he already faces in New York for similar crimes.The Chicago-born star, who grew up on the South Side, has always proclaimed his innocence, despite the charges and allegations against him. ABC7 legal analyst Gil Soffer, who is a former federal prosecutor in Chicago, said it is highly unlikely Kelly will ever see the light of day. He faces up to 90 years in prison on the Chicago charges alone and he is a 55-year-old man, so he will likely die in prison.
