R.Kelly Found Not Guilty..

Even though jurors in the trial of R. Kelly absolutely believed it was him on the tape, they could not reach a guilty verdict because they said there was “not enough evidence to prosecute.” Five of the twelve jurors met with reporters immediately after handing down the acquittal. They said they just couldn’t reach a verdict even though they voted on the hour, every hour because the alleged victim hadn’t testified and refused to cooperate.
As recently as yesterday morning, we’re told, the vote was split nine to three for a not guilty verdict.The jurors were also “absolutely disgusted” with the tape. Unlike the bootleg version you can buy on the street corner, the version they got to watch was “clear as day.” Ew. Sources are hearing that R. Kelly was partying it up last night in Chicago.In addition here is a recap in detail on what went down in the courtroom when the verdict was delivered:Friday afternoon R. Kellt broke down in tears as a Cook County jury let him walk.

In a dramatic verdict that appeared to stun even his own highly-paid lawyers, the 41-year-old R&B star was cleared of all 14 counts of child pornography.
“Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus,” Kelly whispered as each not guilty verdict was read.Now free to pursue his Grammy award-winning career, Kelly had faced up to 15 years behind bars if convicted.

Six years after he was charged with videotaping himself while he allegedly had sex with — and urinated on — his underage goddaughter at his former North Side home, a jury took a little more than seven hours over two days to acquit him.
