R. Kelly Juror Says His Music Is "Old Stuff"
Oh, ouch, one of the jurors chosen for R. Kelly's trial thinks he's old

CHICAGO (AP) - Oh, ouch, one of the jurors chosen for R. Kelly's trial thinks he's old.

A criminal justice student in the jury pool was asked if she was familiar with Kelly's music. She said, "Yes, but it's old stuff. I might know one or two of his songs, but that's about it."

Kelly appeared to wince slightly. The student was chosen to be the fourth juror.

Kelly is accused of videotaping himself having sex with a girl as young as 13. Kelly has pleaded not guilty. A Russian language teacher was dismissed
after she said she couldn't be impartial because she has a teenage daughter. So was a businessman who said he assumed Kelly was guilty.

Three jurors were chosen Monday. A total of 16 jurors, which includes four alternates, will be chosen, perhaps by the end of the week.

DAMN!

This whole R Kelly thing is so dumb, how are they going to find in-partial jurors who dont KNOW him, this crap has been going on for a decade now, the girls in the video are getting ready to collect social security already. As for his music, as i said way back in the day, he was one of the causes for RB's downfall from its TOP BILLING as the most interesting Genre.

. Kelly Trial Picks 5 More Jurors
written by Anthony Roberts
Thursday - May 15, 2008

As the child pornography trial of R&B superstar R.Kelly looms closer, attorneys for both sides recently added five new jurors.

As previously reported by SOHH, three jurors had already been selected; two African-Americans (one man and one woman) and a white man. Now the number has been increased to eight jurors, with five more having been selected on Tuesday (May 13), now consisting of five men and three women and an even split of both black and white jurors, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. This makes the selection process half complete, as 12 jurors and four alternates will ultimately be picked.

Of the recently added jurors is a 20-something white woman studying criminal justice who aspires to be a police officer.

When asked her views of the justice system, she said, "I like it and think it is a fair system when done properly." The woman professed to know nothing about the R. Kelly case, except that he is a singer who had been arrested. She said she barely knows his music, just the "very old stuff."

Another juror, an African-American man, a student, said he heard about the case on TV and radio, but could "absolutely" put that aside and judge the case on the evidence.

"I haven't seen the tape, and I haven't followed the story," he said.

A white man also selected said he had past experience as a juror, having served on two civil cases.

Another juror, a black woman in her 20s, is a teacher's assistant at St. Agatha parish, the church on the West Side of Chicago where the Rev. Daniel McCormack worked before pleading guilty last year to sexually abusing boys. The woman said she had previously discussed the Kelly case with friends, who are divided on his guilt or innocence.

The fifth juror picked Tuesday is a compliance officer with a Chicago investment firm. The man said he had looked the Kelly case up on the Internet and read a "couple of stories," and that he knew someone who had been a victim of sexual abuse. But he said neither factor would prevent him from being fair.

"I'd hold myself to a very high standard," he said.

It is speculated that the remaining jury spots could be filled by week's end as selection will continue today.

Kelly is facing 14 counts of child pornography for allegedly videotaping himself having sex with a girl as young as 13. He has pleaded not guilty and faces up to 15 years

well it is old...1992-95 is not too soon ago.

Well, what about the music that he has put out since 95? He has released an album every year. Hell, The Chocolate Factory was his biggest in years. Happy People didn't do bad...but the last 2 have been horrible (but he still managed to get airplay).

daPrettyman said:

The woman probably never pay attention to it or didn't seem to care. It's like "so what?" LOL I love to see Kells' reaction, he was probably like " "

Timmy84 said:

That shit still works to get you out of jury duty?!

R3V said:

Yep.

daPrettyman said:

Yeah but Im guessint he older people are going to remember his old stuff more than Step In The Name Of Love or Ignition

paisleypark4 said:

And if they do, they need they asses whupped!


And I fuckin hare Step In The Name Of Love. That shit gave those 50-somethin' cats a chance to rock their Steve Harvey suits and try to get in the young clubs sayin "You don't nuthin 'bout this here!"

bboy87 said:

its like...'seriously'

bboy87 said:

That's what it was supposed to be about. Certain areas are known for steppin'. Chicago and Detroit are the kings of this. The entire Chocolate Factory and Happy People albums were designed for Steppers.

bboy87 said:

That's so true!

daPrettyman said:

There's better steppin' tracks tho. A year ago, I had the radio on to Michael Baisden's show and he played this steppin' track titled "Groove With U". It's funky.

bboy87 said:

Yes, there's nothing better than watching some dude pimp around in his Snapple colored suit made of old bed sheets and sold at the local "rolling papers, diapers, beer, cigs, Tide, ramen, lighters, chicken wing" spot for 22.99...along with the fake gators
