R Kelly found not guilty!

CHICAGO - A Chicago jury has acquitted R&B superstar R. Kelly on all counts at his child pornography trial.

The verdict came six years after the singer was first charged with appearing on a graphic videotape with a girl prosecutors said was as young as 13 at the time.

Both Kelly and the now 23-year-old alleged victim had denied they were on the tape. Neither testified during the trial.

The prosecution’s star witness was a woman who said she engaged in three-way sex with Kelly and the girl prosecutors said was on the tape. Defense attorneys argued the man on the tape didn’t have a large mole on his back and Kelly does.

The singer had faced 15 years in prison. His hits include “I Believe I Can Fly,” “Bump N’ Grind” and “Ignition.”

It's kinda hard to convict if the two people supposedly on the video *both* claim that they are not on the tape.

Well, Kelly had his MJ moment of truth. He faced the law and won. Let's see what happens next in his career.

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
