Water Sports in Courts

The legal team defending R Kelly, aka Jack the Pisser, in his Chicago kiddie porn trial rested their case yesterday after just two days of testimony, meaning jurors could be in deliberation as early as Thursday.

According to reports out of Illinois, Kelly's defense was nowhere near as tight as his cornrows:

It was not the defense courthouse observers expected in the high-profile proceeding. There were no surprise witnesses, no gotcha moments, no explanation of how the raunchy video came into existence. During opening statements and the prosecution's case, the defense offered many theories that it didn't follow up.

If Kelly, the libido behind "Hump Bounce" and "Freak Dat Body," is convicted, he faces up to 15 hard years in prison. But don't get too excited just yet. As one legal analyst who spoke to the Chicago Tribune is quick to note: "Celebrities are tough to convict, particularly in their hometown."

    It's sad but true. Celebrities are harder to convict in general. Even though everyone knows he's guilty as hell for some reason the jury will be swayed most likely. I don't understand why they are held on a pedestal as far as thier lifestyle, but thier actions are not on that same pedestal.

    Maybe if he directed "The Pianist" no one would have problems with him.
