R Kelly Found NOT GUILTY Of Child Pornography Charges

R. Kelly Is Acquitted in Child Pornography Case
CHICAGO — It took more than six years for prosecutors to get the R&B star R. Kelly into court on charges of child pornography. It only took a few hours for a jury to declare him not guilty on all 14 counts.
Mr. Kelly had been accused of making a 27-minute sex tape with an under-age female. But a high-powered defense team convinced the jury of nine men and three women that the identity of the girl was not conclusive.

R. KELLY TRIAL: GAVEL TO GAVEL
Before a verdict was reached in the R. Kelly child pornography trial, the judge denied a juror's request to be removed from the panel because of a recent string of family illnesses. Judge Vincent Gaughan told the juror that though he and the attorneys were sympathetic, the case was too important to turn back now.
The juror, an African-American man who attends culinary school, had sent a note to the judge about three hours into this morning's deliberations asking: "How can I be removed and go home? I really need to."
