A Cook County jury on Friday acquitted R&B superstar R. Kelly of child pornography charges, marking the end of a high-profile trial rich in courtroom drama and celebrity intrigue.
The 41-year-old singer, whose real name is Robert Kelly, long denied charges that he videotaped himself engaging in a variety of sex acts with his then-underage goddaughter. Authorities said the female in the video could have been as young as 13 at the time.
The jury of nine men and three women deliberated for 7 ½ hours before finding Kelly not guilty on all 14 counts.
We guess the ‘Shaggy Defense‘ worked. Ugh.
Ugh exactly. Can’t forget the Little Man defense either.
JIGGA! KELLY! NOT GUILTY!!!

You can molest kids but you better not touch a dog! Keep your head up, Michael Vick.
K: Michael Vick was convicted for his role in running an illegal gambling ring, not ‘touching dogs.’
Um, it was a joke – and I didn’t mean ‘touching dogs’ literally. Sheesh.
I know you didn’t mean it literally. But a lot of people got it twisted, thinking Mike Vick got sent up for being mean to animals. The actual charges were much more serious than that. (And yeah, he did drown dogs that lost fights.)
I’ll never get why folks feel like Mike Vick got witch-hunted and sorry for dude. He was fucking up, but he was also really stupid.
I’m not sorry for dude at all – he got what he deserved.
i couldn’t handle any more RK news last week. Buut seeing family this weekend it couldn’t help but come up and thankfully everyone was disgusted (we as a family can’t always be on the same page)
