R. Kelly Trial: Jury Watches Tape
The evidence is coming out of the closet in the R. Kelly child pornography trial! The first two days of the trial are over and, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, this is what has transpired so far:
- Day One, 5/20/08: The prosecution and defense present opening arguments. The defense is two-fold: (1) R. Kelly is not on the sex tape, evidenced by a missing mole on his back; and (2) it’s a case of mistaken identity in that the alleged victim supposedly is not on the sex tape. The prosecution, however, insists that the tape “was created, staged, produced and starred in by the defendant.”
- Day Two, 5/21/08: The jurors watch the sex tape and listen to testimony from witnesses who identify the girl in the tape as underage. The video shows a girl accepting money from the man before performing oral sex on him. She dances, naked, to a Backstreet Boys song. She urinates. She calls him “Daddy” while they have sex. Later, the man (allegedly R. Kelly) urinates and ejaculates on her.
