R. Kelly Trial Must Move Along
R. Kelly might be kickin’ it free-style for a little while longer. According to the Chicago Sun Times, his attorneys have filed a sealed motion to delay his child pornography trial – scheduled to begin to tomorrow — due to “publicity.” The judge likely will rule on the motion tomorrow, just as jury selection is supposed to start.
Popsquire’s perspective…
“Publicity” is a lame excuse for a delay. Typically, judges might grant trial delays for limited reasons, including discovery of new evidence, lack of a witness’s availability, or a court scheduling conflict.
If we wait for a lack of publicity, this trial will never happen. These charges have been pending since 2002. It’s time to do this!
In honor of tomorrow’s expected ruling, Popsquire dedicates this All American Rejects hit, “Move Along,” to Judge Vincent Gaughan.
