R. KELLY: Opening Statements

Prosecutors tell the jury how this is a “case is about a predator.”

TeeRoy's 2 Cents:

Jury duty is not something that I treasure, but to put away a creep like R. Kelly would be a privilege.

Both sides agree R. Kelly had tons of girlfriends. They disagree if he behaved legally with those girls and women.

Innocent until proven guilty. I will try to withhold my judgment.

R. Kelly must be thrilled that this trial started. It’s the first time he’s been out of prison since his arrest two years ago.

The federal prosecutor framed their argument. (quote) “This case is about a predator, who for decades used fame to groom girls, boys, and young women for his own sexual purposes. He engaged with minors in their teens, recorded it to produce child pornography and exposed them to incurable herpes.”

Many of his victims are expected to testify in Brooklyn on the witness stand. If convicted, R. Kelly could face a life sentence.

R. Kelly hired a woman to defend him. She told the jury on Wednesday that some of R. Kelly’s accusers “enjoyed the notoriety of being able to tell their friends that they were with a superstar. They were fans. They came to Mr. Kelly.” (The Hollywood Reporter)
