R. Kelly acquitted on all counts in child sex case

M. Spencer Green / AP

CHICAGO - The jury in the R. Kelly child pornography case has informed the judge that it's reached a verdict after less than a day of deliberations.

Judge Vincent Gaughan is scheduled to read the verdict this afternoon.

Kelly is charged with 14 counts of videotaping himself having sex with an underage girl, who prosecutors say was as young as 13. If convicted, he faces a minimum of four years in prison and a maximum of 15 years. He would also have to register as a sex offender in Illinois.

The jurors — nine men and three women — were given the case Thursday afternoon after attorneys for both sides completed their closing arguments.

A key question for the jurors was whether they believe it was Kelly in the video as prosecutors contend or if they agree with Kelly's attorneys that he isn't the man in the video.

Earlier in the day, after deliberating for just three hours, a juror had sent a note to the judge that reads: “How can I be removed and go home? I really need to.”

Judge Vincent Gaughan called attorneys into the courtroom, told them about the note but adjourned before dealing with the matter. The jury had stopped deliberating for lunch.

Earlier in the morning, the judge called attorneys in to discuss another juror, who became frustrated by slow service during dinner the night before and started banging a bottle on the table and cursing. That juror was allowed to remain on the panel after other jurors indicated they could continue working with him.

I didn't know people still cared about this dude. How long ago were the tapes found?

Either way, Space Jam is better that The Godfather. Michael Jordan is just such a captivating actor, especially when working with animated co-stars.

From what I read about the case, there was compelling evidence that it wasn't him in the video. So I'm not really surprised by the verdict.

Actually, I read this morning that both Kelly AND the alleged victim (who is now in her 20s) swore that it wasn't them in the video. Weird case.

The girls' family also said it wasn't her. Supposedly RK has a mole on his back, and the man in the video does not.

If an alleged victim swears that she wasn't victimized, then how could they possibly prosecute?

The whole case seems crazy. From what I heard, the whole case was based on a 3rd party claiming that he had a threesome with RK and the "victim".

Did anyone watch this BBC doc that caused all this trouble for R. Kelly? I just found it and I'm very curious, because in the media it sounds like this doc will be the nail in the man's coffin..

Didn't an unidentified source in the entertainment industry say that R. Kelly sought underage girls near Jesse Jones Hall in Houston before the trial took place in 2008? I guess Trapped in the Closet has a whole new meaning.

There's so much info about R Kelly's deviant practices out there it's ridiculous, but after that trial years back it seems like he'll never pay for it. At least not through the justice system.
