In observance of this landmark verdict (http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iYofAkuPJ4oPnbZyqaBCzsHL9HuQ), I'm going to fill my bladder and go cruise the local high school.



CHICAGO (AFP) — Grammy-award winning rhythm and blues superstar R. Kelly broke down and wept Friday as a jury cleared him of 14 charges of child pornography.


The hugely successful Chicago-based star had consistently denied the charges since his arrested in 2002 after an incriminating video tape was sent to the Chicago Sun-Times.

"There wasn't enough evidence," jubilant defense lawyer Edward Genson told a press conference saying they were "ecstatic" that Robert Kelly was cleared of all the charges against him after the jury deliberated for less than a day.

In observance of this, I'm going to fill my bladder and go cruise the local middle school.

Fixed.

For all we know, that shit was digital.

He got the parents to say it wasn't her, pretty much kills the case. And fills their pockets of course. When you can afford a defense TEAM (i think he had a four man lawyer crew), you typically will be getting off unless you were so redheaded a bolt of lighning was waiting on you as soon as you stepped out the court room.

Isn't that Vida?

National bring your children to the bathroom day?

I can't really figure out how yet, but I really want to come up with a funny line similair to "If the Glove Don't Fit, You Must Acquit" for this, in Jackie Chiles voice of course.

I'm working from

"Not Her On The Tape? It isn't Rape!
They've got the pee? Let's cop a plea!"

Sorry, in general I don't like making light of cases of statuatory rape like this but things like this just remind me of how truly flawed some of our legal system is at times and my main defense mechanism is making jokes. Otherwise I'd just be angry all the time.

Before I went to bed last night, I was watching Nancy Grace's coverage of this... Gawd, I hate that wench.

Isn't that Vida?
Yea, funny thing is that chappelle didnt know until later.

God Bless America. The only country in the land where a black man can pee on a little girl and be aquitted.

C-H-A-N-G-E

I believe R.Kelly can fly

Isn't this old news? I knew it back in 2000 when "Jigga, Kelly Not Guilty."

...and then there's this: (http://www.blueblood.net/2008/06/leaving-teenage-girls-with-ephebophile-r-kelly-is-the-real-crime/)


The testimonies in his recent trial are, in fact, rife with descriptions about how various people in positions of trust did everything from extort payments from him to stealing jewelry and, yes, homemade videos.

According to GQ magazine, R. Kelly was sexually abused by an adult male neighbor as a child. Given that R. Kelly’s brother told Vibe that the singer never gave their mother a dime because she refused to divorce his stepfather, I would hazard a guess that the man was probably abused by his stepfather as well. R. Kelly also personally told Vibe that he is functionally illiterate.

Members of his entourage further assert that R. Kelly is unable to do basic addition and subtraction. I’m guessing that someone with a bunch of multi-platinum albums could afford a reading and mathematics tutor, so it’s fairly likely that this means R. Kelly is deficient in the brain department. He probably is not mentally on a level above his young sex partners.

Oh and just in case anyone hasn't watched it yet, this is the R Kelly video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KANI2dpXLw) that started all the controversy.

Age ain't nothing but a number.
