Forensics Testify At R Kelly’s Trial

R. KELLY’s child pornography trial has heard how a fingernail-sized mark seen on the lower back of the man in the sex tape was not a mole, but video distortion.

The troubled R+B star stands accused of videotaping himself having sex with a 13-year-old girl.

The Bump N’ Grind hitmaker’s defence team recently told a Chicago, Illinois court that the person in the explicit video could not be their client, because the two men bore key physical differences - most noticeably a dark fingernail-sized mole on the star’s back.

The jury has heard testimony from the prosecutions forensic expert, who matched a mole on the singer’s back to that of the man in the sex tape.

But on Thursday (05June08), defence witness and video analysis expert Charles Palm claims the black mark appears - and disappears - because the video has been duplicated so many times.

He says, "I see a black mark but it doesn’t appear to be a mole."

Kelly has pleaded not guilty to all 14 counts of child pornography. The trial continues.

Hey,

Can’t a MAN have a spiritual meaningful relationship with his own goddaughter anymore ? What’s wrong with you people anyway ? (sarcasm intended, fact coming up next) This is not about race, this is about culture.

Wrong ? or Right !

I dont think that he is guilty, but if he is we all are still going to buy his albums because the man makes good music.

Ithink he is guilty of it but you cant blame him for it, its not like he went to her house and pulled her out of bed if anyone should be blamed it should her parents for letting her go to his show or not keeping closer tabs on their daughter, you cant blame a star for having sex with a groupie, dont you know if he would have known she was 13 he would of at least had the decency not to tape it and then let it get leaked
