R. Kelly Acquitted

I Believe He Can Fly:


R. Kelly has been acquitted of child pornography charges that he appeared on a videotape having sex with a girl as young as 13.

The jury read the verdict shortly after 2 p.m. They cleared the R&B superstar of all 14 counts.Kelly dabbed at his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys after the verdict was read.

The verdict brought to an end a criminal case that has been pending for six years. Kelly had argued from the beginning that he was not the man on the video, and the alleged victim said she was not the one who appeared either.

The graphic, sordid video shows the female dancing and urinating on the floor in the man's direction. He then has sex with and urinates on her.

Beyond a reasonable doubt:


In just two days, Kelly's lawyers called 12 witnesses. They included three relatives of the alleged victim who testified they did not recognize her as the female on the tape.
