EXCLUSIVE<\/span><\/p>\n

\"attorney\"Michael Avenatti<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s new legal woes \u2014 being accused of extortion and fraud \u2014 could derail the case against R. Kelly<\/strong><\/a> \u2026 that\u2019s what the singer\u2019s lawyer thinks.<\/p>\n

R. Kelly\u2019s attorney, Steve Greenberg<\/strong>, tells TMZ \u2026 now that Avenatti has been charged with extortion<\/strong><\/a> as well as bank and tax fraud, his credibility is now a centerpiece in the singer\u2019s case \u2014 specifically, the circumstances surrounding how prosecutors obtained a key piece of evidence.<\/p>\n

That evidence, of course, is a sex tape<\/strong><\/a> that Cook County investigators claim shows R. Kelly having sex with an underage girl, who\u2019s alleged to be 14 years old. It\u2019s what many believe to be a smoking gun against R. Kelly \u2026 and the catalyst that led to a 10-count indictment<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"bank\"<\/p>\n

Greenberg says the issue of \u201cchain of custody\u201d \u2014 how Cook County got ahold of that tape\u00a0via Avenatti<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 is now questionable. Greenberg strongly suggests the possibility the tape could\u2019ve been altered before it got to prosecutors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sources connected to the case tell us that the man who handed the tape over to Avenatti is a whistle-blower who has a history of extorting R. Kelly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019re told the man recently confessed to prosecutors in Chicago that he squeezed about a million dollars out of R. Kelly\u2019s team in the past to stop the tape from going public. So, the question \u2026 if the guy got the cash, how would Avenatti have gotten it?<\/p>\n

Remember, there were supposedly TWO R. Kelly sex tapes<\/strong><\/a> that Avenatti turned over to Cook County officials, but Greenberg tells us he\u2019s only aware of one.<\/p>\n

Either way, if Greenberg can create reasonable doubt in the jury\u2019s mind as to authenticity \u2026 he could get R. Kelly off. Hey, we\u2019ve seen it happen before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
