R. Kelly juror feels trapped in the closet
It took 6 years to bring singer and child molester R. Kelly to justice. But now a juror wants to derail the trial by requesting to go home.
On Thursday, the case went to a Chicago jury for deliberations. One juror - I bet he or she was black - sent a note to the judge after less than an hour of deliberating.
The note said, “I can’t take it anymore. How can I be removed and go home? I really need to.”
This happens very rarely in a case of this magnitude - which begs the question: did a juror get paid off to cause a mistrial? Why did the juror wait until the middle of deliberations to ask to be removed from the jury?
Thanks to loyal reader Peaches for the tip!

wow….here we go with the BS.
I don’t know about this one, but i bet with that r.kelly money he will get off, cuz i have never really heard of a mega-star going to jail, no matter what the case, but if r.kelly did that he needs some mental help and ****,not just prison!
i smell a pay off, please lock this fool up
Ya’ll smell ‘dat?? I smell a fishy acquittal/mistrial coming up very soon! Dammit!
Ashunti…we iz smelling the same nasty funky smell in da air! LOL!
We knew it would be a mistrial turned into a Lifetime or TNT movie. Why is anyone shocked?
Either a deadlock because they can’t all agree or a not guilty because the evidence was weak. As I said in a previous post on this, the evidence presented by the prosecution was not concrete and R Kelly’s defense did a good job at countering the prosecutions circumstantial evidence; the video should have been the smoking gun but it wasn’t; not to mention the whole mole debacle. Then you don’t have the young lady in question or her parents. You can know in your gut that he is guilty but that is not evidence. Wow, it can go either way but if they do acquit I will not be surprised; DAMN!
lock that damn juror up, that is some nonsense, can’t take what anymore?
It looks like Kells’ money is speaking for him again
If Phil Spector can get off with gun powder on his hands, the victim missing teeth, blood spatter evidence & admitting to shooting the chick, yall think kells wont get off for f*ckin a kid?
A VERDICT HAS BEEN REACHED ALREADY!!! Says so on CNN.
somebody got some extra $$$’s in they account. Kells wouldn’t pay off anybody b4 ..but he is now fighting for his life
this is some bullsh*t!!!!
Sandra did you hear about the young man thats coming foward with molestation alegations against Chris Stokes.
I just wonder when some of these perverts will get help.
They opened the trial showing the video and they closed it by showing the video again. I have never seen it. I can’t imagine being a juror on that case.
i just read they have reached a verdict on cnn.

Get out of my head. I read it on TMZ. They will announce it at 3:00 ET
oh that fast! right after the juror wants out? yeah right it better be guilty!
Who really cares? The girl he had relations with doesn’t care so why should we? Parents need to watch their girl children. There are a lot of hot ass little girls nowadays
its after 3!!!! what is it?!?!
Okay, why do I have the same feeling I had when they were getting ready to announce OJ’s fate, …except for the blacks and whites in my office are not seperated this time! *giggling*
Homey was aquitted n all charges..
NOT GUILTY!!!!!!
There is going to be a whole lot of pissed off people
NOT GUILTY YAH..NOT GUILTY…OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS SH*t!!!!!
WOW!!!!
Wooooooooow
ACQUITTED! DAYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!
Figures
I guess he wont be keeping no more tapes!!! And he better burn the ones he got left!! WOW!! Money talks!!
I bet you the victim could care less one way or the other. She wouldn’t speak out against him. So if he gets off, she won’t be devastated. Only the public.
Hell Michael got off. OJ got off. Barretta got off. TI got off. I bet you 50 will get off and Shaniqua Tomkins will go to jail, and both of them had their goons setting fire to the house on either end………..at the same time. Each one not knowing what the other was doing. LOL j/k
Did I leave anybody else out?
…OFF THE THE PRAYER ROOM I GO!
Damn I was 14 mins late. Just got word. Oh well. I hope they learned a lesson.
He better start singing gospel music. There was not enough evidence to convict. Some family members said it was her and vice versa. She did not acknowledge it was her. Not hard to figure out he was not going to jail. That’s ok. GOD is watching.
No, the system is not ****; it’s flawed no doubt but the prosecution did not have it air tight; woo woo!
A jury has found R. Kelly not guilty!
A jury acquitted the singer of all fourteen counts of child pornography.
Kelly had long denied being on the video tape at the center of the trial — and even the alleged victim denied it was her!
This ia crazy! I guess money can buy anything even your morals. Now we ask hon TI got only a year, how did this fool get off? Money! the root of all evil! this is a disgrace. 3 women and 9 men could not find this man guilty? this is crazy. We should still boycott his music. ( i do now) Yeah it was a shame the girl nor her parents came through, but they had been paid off years ago. and probally sweetened the deal if they didn’t show up! this is insane!
I hate to say he better watch his back. he may have won this one! But God will be the last judge and jury over him, the girl and her parents!
Amen Ashunti, Amen!

What if the girl was white?? We all know what the verdict would’ve been, but skin color is not the question here, a child was violated, period!
I am so disgusted right now. smh

They don’t care about black on black crime. If that girl was White his ASS would have been under the jail 6 yrs ago.
I know that’s right toosexy….hell, that had better evidence; reasonable doubt against OJ.
One lucky bastard!!!
This is very sad actually.
Where is justice for pedophiles?!!!
juror please!!! why wait to the last day to not be able to take it anymore?? that’s definitley a pay off..
