R-Kelly Trial finally Started

It's about damn time! A few albums, videos, guest appearances, remixes and concert tours later R-Kelly case finally started today in front of a jury that was selected last week. I believe it was in 2002 when the infamous alleged tape made his rounds in the media and Internet, ever since Kells' lawyers have been able to obtain delays after delays after delays. It has taken so long that the girl in the video that was in her early teenage years is now a full grown woman, the prosecutor had also a baby, the judge suffered from a nasty ladder fall and Kelly was treated for appendicitis. If they decide to put the alleged victim on the stand the effect of her testimony on the jury won't be the same. It's all about perception. Can you be moved in a child molestation case by an adult victim woman? hardly.
Anyways, I'm not saying that his guilty, but if you saw the tape... He has well exploited the justice system and 6 years later it's even harder for the prosecution to make a case. Don't be surprised by the outcome.
