This just in, don't ask for a news article, this happened moments ago.

An american raper/rapist who was video taped having sex with children was just found not guilty by a jury of my peers.

Mr Man,

I believe the problem was they couldn't positively identify the person he was with was a child. That's kind of important.

DO NOT LOVE YA.

But I do love most!

LOVE THEM!

I'd acquit just because this is so inhuman, I don't think he is subject to our laws.

A FUZZY BUNNY FILMS PRODUCTION! YAY!

Neither Kelly nor the then-13-year-old (now 23) took the stand. She refused to testify. Several witnesses who should know testified as to the identities of the couple on the tape. The defense just worked to create reasonable doubt on those identities. They claimed it wasn't him. They claimed it wasn't her. Blahblahblah.

Ah, American justice at its finest.

FWIW, everyone in Chicago knows it was R. Kelly on the tape, and that the tape is real.
:shrug:

The upside is that there will not be immediate racial protests and violence in Chicago.

In other words, R. Kelly got off back then.

And he got off again, now.

And everyone knows it.

Why has everyone in Chicago watched a child porn tape long enough to identify who is in it?

Mr Snuggles frowns upon the exploitation of children, and also living in Chicago. Your Bobbys are just creepy.

The "R"tist in question has a long-standing rep as a lover of, er, youth, and has bragged about it often (in the past). When the tape leaked out originally, his reaction was concern over image quality.

I have inside information on some of the particulars (having worked in the music industry for many years), but can't betray certain confidences. So believe me or not as you wish. But he's guilty.

I do retract the "everyone in Chicago" portion of my post. That's obviously hype. Replace it with "those in the know." We know.

Why do you have a problem with Bobby Jenks?

Though Bobby Rush is a bit scary, perhaps.

Why should that matter if he was guilty?

You dont know anything if you cant prove it.

People knew it was impossible to go to the moon once.

R. Kelly has pledged to devote his life to finding the real statutory rapist and bringing him to justice.
