Singer’s freedom remains subject of debate

Not unlike reactions to the six-year delay in his trial on child pornography charges, many are dismayed that R. Kelly is a free man. Fans, however, cheered Kelly after learning that he was found not guilty on 14 counts last week. Kelly gave a salute to spectators outside a Chicago courthouse where he’d repeated the words, “Thank you, Jesus,” after hearing jurors’ verdicts. He faced up to 15 years in prison if convicted of recording sex acts with a woman believed to be about 13 years old. But numerous message board entries and call-in radio hotlines indicate stunned amazement that Kelly was found to guilty. It’s likely that thousands of copies of the videotape allegedly featuring Kelly have been reproduced and circulated throughout the Black community for years leading up to the trial. Even comedian Dave Chappelle made a memorable parody video in which he dressed like Kelly and sang, “I want to p–s on you,” referring to the video’s most talked-about act. After the Friday verdict, jurors didn’t identify themselves by name, but several said the young woman’s identity was key to Kelly’s freedom: They were certain Kelly was the man in 27 minutes footage, but not certain of the age or identity of his alleged sex partner. The alleged victim didn’t testify.

Jurors resume deliberation in singer’s child pornography case. Jury members resume deliberating in the case of singer R. Kelly today, after a little over three hours of considering his fate on child pornography charges Thursday. Kelly’s fate on 14 criminal counts of alleged videotaped sex acts with a girl, who was possibly 13 years old at the time, went to jurors Thursday. No possible indicators of the jury’s leaning were given, except when they requested a transcript of star prosecution witness Lisa Van Allen’s testimony. Van Allen claimed that she had three-way sex with Kelly and the alleged victim, now 23, multiple times, and Van Allen positively ID’d Kelly and the teen from the video. Both have denied appearing in the footage, and Judge Vince Gaughan denied the jury’s request for Van Allen’s testimony. In closing arguments, prosecutor Shauna Boliker compared the four-week trial to a murder case, in which the victim can’t testify, since Kelly’s alleged victim didn’t take the stand. Boliker also suggested that defense lawyers made weak assertions about the footage having been altered. “That videotape, no matter what they say, contains (Kelly’s) face,” Boliker argued after the video was shown again. Kelly’s defense lawyer Sam Adam countered that the victim told a grand jury she’s not on the videotape, and that, to convict the singer: “You’re going to have to say this girl, before the world, is a whore. My momma used to tell me if you ain’t got nothing nice to say, don’t say it at all.” For the latest on the R. Kelly case developments, go to BET.com/News.
