R. Kelly Acquitted

Jurors deliberated for less than a day in the R. Kelly child pornography trial, and when they returned with a verdict, Kelly was acquitted of all charges, the AP is reporting.

Kelly wiped away tears and hugged his lawyers after being acquitted on all fourteen counts he was charged with. Had Kelly been convicted he would have faced 15 years in prison.

The prosecutions star witnes, Lisa Van Allen had testified that she had engaged in 3-way sex with Kelly and the minor on the tape, and that Kelly often travelled with a duffel bag of homemade porn.

Defense attorneys argued that the man on the tape, which was sent to the Chicago Sun Times in 2002, did not have a large mole on his back, and that Kelly had such a mole.

Three relatives of the alleged victim also testified that they could not identify the girl on the tape as their relative.

Kelly left the courthouse with no comment. Fans cheered him on as he boarded an SUV.

Lisa Van Allen unlike R. Kelly confessed to engaging in , participating in , enticing , ect . . . and should go to prison under the penal codes and "MORALS" she claims as her "THUNDER" ! ! ! !

Under 18 Women/girls are expected to know right from wrong when it comes to shoplifting , lying , violent crimes , substance abuse , ect . . and we as a society punish under 18 year old Women/girls via juvenile law. If Girls under 18 were punished for having consentual sex with adult men statutory rape laws would be repealed overnight because the criminal fruit of this double standard would be gone.
