Jury Acquits Singer R. Kelly On All Charges
Tweet
A jury has acquited R&B singer R.Kelly in his trial. He faced a minimum of 4 years and a maximum of 15 years in prison.
Judge Vincent Gaughan just read the verdict.
Kelly was charged with 14 counts of videotaping himself having sex with an underage girl, who prosecutors say was as young as 13.
The jurors  nine men and three women  were given the case Thursday afternoon after attorneys for both sides completed their closing arguments.
A key question for the jurors was whether they believe it was Kelly in the video as prosecutors contend or if they agree with Kelly’s attorneys that he isn’t the man in the video.
They evidently didn’t think it was him.
