R. Kelly Not Guilty!!

Posted in Crime, Music, R. Kelly by The Gossip Monger on June 13th, 2008.

WOW! This is big news! The many years delayed R Kelly sex trial which took place recently has returned a verdict: not guilty! According to the associated press, Jurors returned a verdict of not guilty on all 14 counts:

R. Kelly was acquitted of all charges Friday after less than a day of deliberations in his child pornography trial, ending a six-year ordeal for the R&B superstar. Kelly dabbed his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys after the verdict — not guilty on all 14 counts — was read. The Grammy award-winning singer had faced 15 years in prison if convicted. Minutes later, surrounded by bodyguards, he left the courthouse without comment. Dozens of fans screamed and cheered as he climbed into a waiting SUV.
