R. Kelly

"How is there not reasonable doubt when the two people say it's not them?"

he never her, she never him

haha

jury selection continues

...potential juror Number 37 walked in on Tuesday afternoon.

Number 37 was a white male who appeared to be in his 60s, and with his constant looking around and leaning in, he projected an aura of anxiety. Right off the bat, Number 37 set the agenda, and instead of waiting to be asked questions by the judge or the lawyers, he started firing questions of his own.

First, he asked the judge if he was guaranteed a seat on the jury, given that he'd made it this far. (The answer was no.) Then he asked the judge if it was OK if he watched the Weather Channel (jurors are instructed to stay away from news reports on the case). "I just don't watch the news," the man said, before rattling off every channel he watches, including the Discovery Channel, the History Channel and Animal Planet.

Number 37 then started listing his hobbies, which include mapmaking. To illustrate, he started talking about the possibility of there being a Judge Vincent Gaughan Boulevard, and what if it intersected with a Sacha Baron Cohen Boulevard? Or a Christiane Amanpour Boulevard? At these mentions, Kelly, who had been gazing at his lap, looked up. "You're putting me in with stars," the judge demurred. "I'm not a star."

Gaughan tried to get the man to clarify a response on the written questionnaire, which asked, "As a result of filling out this questionnaire, have you formed an opinion on this case?" Number 37 read his otherwise illegible or unclear answer, "Yes, child porn is immoral, people! R. Kelly may have led the Taliban to attacking us on 9/11, but you can't prove it!"

btw hairbraider sux

things are looking difficult for kells

oh dear

the more i read the guiltier he seems

there was also testimony regarding the "Space Jam" themed mural at R. Kelly's former home. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, "the mural shows Kelly playing basketball against the cartoon Tasmanian Devil while Michael Jordan referees. In the stands sit other Looney Tunes characters, including Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd, and Foghorn Leghorn — who holds a sign reading "Go R. Kelly!"

he's guilty. or sure seems it. and it's sad. i hate trials. i'm not interested in cops or the law or any of that boring bullshit. but i still read the sun-times blog every day (the kelly chronicles). and i can't help but post the weird details. because they're weird. and they tell us something. maybe. know though that this is a sad sordid terrible thing, this case, and though i don't post about that it's still the central point here.

onwards and downwards

today's witness:
Van Allen said she went on tour with Kelly and was picked out of the crowd at the end of each show to perform simulated sex with him on stage at each show's finale.

i don't want him to be guilty, but i think he probably is. am i supposed to hate him? i don't know.

;_;

3 relatives said today that it's not the girl on the tape

NOT GUILTY said the jury just now
