Someone please post pictures after he is found guilty. I want to see them take him away in handcuffs.

Absolutely 100% GUILTY

Seems like every one called has identified this girl on the tape. What more does the defense have besides the mole on the back and the CGI theory?

It should be. I'm sure there'll be posts throughout the duration of the trial and I hate having to search for it everytime there's a lull in info or the weekend.

Yeah, June7 or sos or luv4u should come in here and just automatically stick it so we know what's going on because sometimes I'll be tired of posting information. Already today, some guy who the judge didn't know about called in the defense's way saying he can contradict one of the girls' testimony about being in a tape with Kelly that he allegedly bribed to have her keep the tape. The judge was said to be ticked off at this and said "you better depose that motherfucker, I don't care if it's 7 am!" The woman's testimony has been held off until deposition on this guy is done and settled. Hopefully it would be by Friday.

The defense sounds desperate and unorganized.

Today some woman called on Wendy mentioning that the girl in the tape looked willing and experienced and that was basically her only point. Why do people keep brining that up? She could have been a 10-year veteran with a damn doctorate in the Kama Sutra and a thesis on The Joy of Sex but she was still underaged. Hello? Boundaries, anyone?

FBI Forensic Expert: Sex Tape At Trial Not Altered

5.29.08

An FBI forensic expert testified Thursday that the male and female in a sex tape at the heart of the R. Kelly child pornography trial weren't computer-generated or altered.

In more than an hour of highly technical analysis, George Skaluba told jurors that the video appears to depict "real people in a real environment."

The defense maintains the R&B star is not the man in the video and has repeatedly suggested that his likeness could have been computer-generated onto the 27-minute tape.

Kelly, 41, is charged with child pornography for allegedly videotaping himself having sex with a girl who prosecutors say was as young as 13. He has pleaded not guilty and faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

Skaluba also told jurors that even if someone wanted to create digital images, it would be costly and could take years.

"It would be very, very time consuming and very hard to do," Skaluba said.

Under cross-examination, Skaluba conceded he wasn't in a position to say if the male on the tape was actually Kelly or a look-alike.

Kelly's attorneys have also noted that the singer has a mole on his back and they claim the man on the tape does not. The alleged victim, now 23, also has denied she is on the graphic video.

The tape obtained by prosecutors is not the original, but a copy several times removed from the original, Skaluba said.

Earlier on Thursday, prosecutors said they needed more time to interview a potential defense witness before he can testify. The man told Kelly's attorneys he had information that could impeach the testimony of a prosecution witness.

An hour worth of analysis for the result to be "real people in a real evironment" That's cute.

And what would the motive be for someone to do a CGI set up or have a stunt double? Have him punished for all the crappy music he's released to the world. Even if there was a mole, depending on the kind that could be removed.

The threesome participant, who says she, Kelly and alleged teen girl engaged in three-way sex when she was underage herself, will testify Monday after surprise defense witness delayed her testimony:

R. Kelly's mole allegedly spotted on sex videotape
Witness for prosecution to testify Monday on 3-way with Kelly, minor

The mole that R. Kelly's defense team said would set him free popped up in court Thursday when the sex tape at the heart of the case was broken down for the jury.

In a near frame-by-frame analysis of the 27-minute video, an expert pointed out a few seconds in which a mole appears on the male participant's back. The blemish is just left of the man's spine, a few inches above his waistline.

Police photographs of a semi-nude Kelly taken after the R&B superstar's arrest in 2002 show a dark mole in a similar location. His attorneys last week said Kelly has had the mole since childhood.

"There's a mark on this man's back [in the police picture] about the exact same size and position as the man in the video," testified Grant Fredericks, a forensic video analyst.

Kelly, 41, faces child pornography charges stemming from a sex tape that authorities say he made with a girl as young as 13 between 1998 and 2000. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The frozen video image appears to undermine the defense team's assertion that Kelly could not be the man in the video because that person has an unblemished back. The defense downplayed the tape for jurors Thursday, saying the mark disappears several times during the poorly lit, amateur recording.

"There, not there," lead defense attorney Ed Genson said as he showed the tape at half-speed. "There, not there. There, not there."

Kelly's bigger concern, however, may be the upcoming testimony of Lisa Van Allen, a 27-year-old Georgia woman who is expected to testify next week that she engaged in a three-way sexual encounter with both the Grammy winner and the alleged minor in the sex tape. Her court appearance was postponed Wednesday after Damon Pryor, 33, contacted the defense with information he said would undermine her testimony.

Van Allen's fiance, Yul Brown, said Pryor is Van Allen's ex-boyfriend and the father of Van Allen's 5-year-old daughter.

During a phone conversation from his home in suburban Atlanta on Thursday night, Brown described how his fiance met Kelly when she was a 17-year-old extra on the set of his "Home Alone" video in 1998. The video was shot in Alpharetta, Ga., the adopted hometown of the Connecticut-born Van Allen, Brown said.

The two soon became romantically involved, despite the fact that Kelly had married Andrea Lee two years earlier, Brown said. In 2001, Van Allen played the role of Kelly's hair braider in his "I Wish" video, Brown said.

"They had a serious relationship," Brown said. "You have a child who was impressed with an R&B singer. She was young."

After moving to Chicago to be with Kelly in the late 1990s, Van Allen met the singer's goddaughter, an Oak Park girl who authorities say is featured in the sex tape. The two teens maintained a regular presence at his downtown recording studios, his former assistant Lindsey Perryman testified this week.

Brown said the girls' relationship evolved to include group sex with Kelly. The "I Believe I Can Fly" singer videotaped a three-way sexual encounter with himself, Van Allen and his goddaughter on at least one occasion, he said.

"Yes, a tape existed," Brown said. "I won't say if I have any knowledge of what happened to the tape."

Sources familiar with the case say Van Allen sold the tape to one of Kelly's representatives for a significant amount of money. Kelly's defense team also is expected to accuse her of offering to switch her testimony in exchange for cash when she takes the witness stand Monday.

Brown would not comment on the specifics, saying he didn't want to jeopardize the case.

"The truth will be out there," he said. "Lisa is looking forward to setting the record straight."

The defense, prosecutors and Van Allen cannot comment because of Cook County Judge Vincent Gaughan's gag order.

Brown said his fiance officially ended her relationship with Kelly in 2005 because she no longer wanted to be the mistress of a married man with three children. It was an amicable parting, though the singer tried to stop her, Brown said.

"He didn't want to break up with her," Brown said. "But she wanted more out of life. She just grew up. She wasn't a teenager anymore."

Van Allen, who is four months' pregnant and works for her fiance's investment company, looks forward to testifying, Brown said. The couple traveled to Chicago for the trial this week, but was sent home Thursday after defense attorneys met with the witness they say will undermine Van Allen's testimony. They plan to fly back Sunday, Brown said.

The couple realize that Van Allen will be thrust to the forefront of the high-profile case, but they're prepared for the media onslaught and an intense cross-examination by Kelly's defense team, Brown said.

His fiance—whom he described as "funny, opinionated and beautiful"—has no reason to lie about her involvement with Kelly or his alleged victim, Brown said.

"She knows her reasons for coming forward," Brown said. "Like she says, why would she tell everyone she had sex with a minor if it wasn't true? She knows the truth."

This shit is a wrap. His defense can't mount a defense against video. Can we just proceed to sentencing please?????

Oh, and I bet bruthaman won't give them his SS# cuz he's got warrants OR he's on paper. Again, not a stellar witness for the defense. If you're hinging the WHOLE case on this dude????? Yeah, it's a WRAP.
