R. Kelly Not Guilty

Sandra Rose June 13, 2008

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!

he got away wit it…..

R. Kelly better move out of the Chi town

Is this for real? What the hell
prynsexxx

Well shouldn’t they be going after the person that was actually having sex with the girl.

I guess they haven’t looked for the same person or persons responsible for the OJ killings either.

There is still a child molester and murderer walking the streets yall!

DAMN that was fast. I guess he is happy as hell he got off. I believe there was some pay offs behind the scenes though. How are you found not guilty off fourteen counts? Thats crazy.

All they needed to prove was Reasonable Doubt..His lawyers watched Johnny on all his cases (OJ and MJ)….and they did what they were paid to do….

First OJ and now this. American justice at it’s finest huh?
shunda

That is crazy. But we all know the only way he was going to jail was if that little heffa testified it was her. I hope he gets some help.
cinnamonkisses97

Total BS , that is sad , I can’t believe it !!!!!
SHANIASMOMMA

i mean when the girl nor her parents wouldn’t come forward and family members were straddling both sides of the fence if it was her or not …that made the case that much crazier ..but like i said a couple of people on that jury are probably getting ready to have a come up in there bank account
Topnotch

i knew they wasnt gone find him guilty. He was saying it wasnt him, the girl was saying it wasnt her..some family members said it was her some said it wasnt..that aint beyond a resonable doubt.plus money talks yall..why are so many ppl surprised?
Kymystry

THIS IS SOME B!TCHAZZNESS IN THE FULLEST… Well .. God WILL have the final say in this … What’s done in the Dark WILL come to Light …

He better make some more remix’s to pay his lega bills … Baztard.
katgirl33

Non Credible Witnesses + Reasonable doubt = Acquital

I really hope that Kellz sees the HUGE sign that God has has given in all this.

The sign is that with all that God has blessed him, he is living the wrong lifestyle.

R. Kelly, if you read this, please take the second chance God has given you, and CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Stop fu**ing with all these different women!
ngresh

This is such a disgrace. He is so guilty!!!!!!!
MOCHAMOMMY

I get the chills everytime i hear he’s not guilty. That is so scary. All i know is that if it was my child, he wouldnt be the one on trial, i would be for all kinda murder charges. Beheading a human, cruel & unusal punishment, dismemberment of a body, the list goes on

What a bunch of bull. Somebody got paid off. BITCHASSNESS at its finest. I really thought he was going to jail. He’s going to be another Michael Jackson. You know he’s guilty but they keep letting him off the hook. The world is coming to an end!

__________________________________________________________

I read some of the closing arguments in the paper today…..his lawyer said something similar about the family…. why didn’t they do anything, if this was their family member? A normal person would have beat that azz.

But he didn’t use my words…LOL

I think this is one of the things the jury looked at….I mean, the girl had a POLICE OFFICER AUNT who watched the tape at her house…didn’t do nothing.

I mean that God is telling this man to change his life….Like it or not, it is by the Grace of God that he got off….I don’t think the sign for him to change his life can’t get no bigger than this.

God did bless with the voice and talent he has….that’s what I was talking about when I said “…with all that God has blessed him”.

************************************************************
You aren’t alone in that thought … I have 13 older brother’s and TRUST me .. There would have been a WHOLE different story about R.Kelly

R&B Singer R.Kelly dissapeared like Jimmy Hoffa from the music scene over 6 yrs ago … yall get the pic
kurvykutie

If he did it he will have to answer to man above. Legally he is innocent. There were too many inconsistancies. If the prosecutors had real evidence they would have tried him 6 years ago. I agree if it were my child I would be the one on trial not Kellz. I still want to know why Sparkle would say it was her niece and the niece keep claiming it wasn’t her. I would think the girl in the tape could get more money saying it was her.
katgirl33

ITA with you in saying the devil was at work….I think he was on Kelly’s back with the stuff I saw on the tape.
ThatCarmen

Why are you all so damn mad??? I mean, nobody really knows but the man on the tape and the chick he paid and God…. a jury said he is innocent so, if he is not, ….its for God to punish ….not us.
pinkvirgo

I’m sad. My friend just sent me a text telling me he was found ng.And then she says I can’t wait until he comes to concert.WTF!?! So I said good thing it wasn’t your 13 y.o. neice or daughter.I swear my ppl don’t care what you do as long as u can hold a note or throw a ball.SMDH
pinkvirgo

I would think the girl in the tape could get more money saying it was her.

June 13th, 2008 at 3:39 pm

Then he would have sued her b/c she was paid to stfu. I am sure he has some kinda papers on her.Money will do it everytime,look at those boy Michael paid we havent heard from him since.
Mspeng

And the saddest thing of all is the girl could come out RIGHT NOW and say it was her and do all sorts of interviews etc and they can’t do anything about it due to the law of double jeopardy. He can’t get tried for the same thing twice even if he was found later to be guilty.
bklynsjm123

**Floored** I cant believe it. He is as guilty as the day is long. Kinda just lost all hope in the justice system. I guess the saying “money talks bullshyt walks” is so true. Fkin pervert.
ckarinwhite

I just knew he would be found guilty!…Wow!…I am shocked.

OK this is amazing they lock Michael Vick up for Dog fighting and let him go.So they care more about Dogs than little girls!!!Outrageous!!!

Hmm..
http://myspace.com/birminghamblaze Dani

I’m not going to say that I saw the video because it would be against the law but…..if i hypothetically saw it I may have said that I was positive the person in the video was Robert Kelly….I would also kind of sorta imply that the female in the video looked really young.
katgirl33

These witnesses the prosecution had just messed them all up. Then these experts talking about a mole…..one saw it, one didn’t…..just too many holes in what they was trying to bring to the jury….

I can’t wait til they (the jury) speak about why/how they came to their decision….
PAGESINADIARY

yeah!!!!!!!! they had a dog fighting tape on mike vick and locked him up, these foks had a more graffic tape and acquitted kelly. i think they were ready to go home. they had been locked down for 4 weeks, they were ready to go. how does 9 male jurors let this shyt happen?
http://www.myspace.com/msmeka2cute Mz_Magnificent1

This is a perfect example of child predators protecting other rich, powerful child predators…

Sadly, I figured R.Kelly would be found not guilty especially since alot of powerful people in law enforcement and the judicial system are Chester the Molester themselves…

This is horrible…this world is filled with sick, perverts like R.Kelly.
http://myspace.com/complexsimplicity msmullens

I can’t believe he was let go. Kelly won’t change because he has a problem obviously with the young girls. If anything he probably keep doing what he been doing, but worst. What a shame. Tim Russert has a heart attack, but people like Kelly gets away with rape. What does that tell other celebrities with dollars to waste? Its okay to have sex underaged girls as long as you have the money to back it up with? What is the world coming to?

This is str8 B.S. So whats gonna happen is he’s gonna lay low for a minute and go right back to his old ways b/c he is sick and he needs help.This acquittal is just making him think hes doing something thats ok.

Man I went to check my email and take a look at the Forbes site for a minute and all hell has broken loose. R. Kelly is free to molest again and Tim Russert has died. Gee whiz. What a day in news.
Rika

Okay this must be said……I personal didn’t watch the tape b/c it would be promoting the person that really did do it (if it was R. Kelly) but the fact of the matter is that the prosecution had to made holes in the witness and couldn’t pull it together…..2nd if that was the young lady in the case I wouldn’t want to put myself out there now that I’m in college trying to make something of myself and have a career and be marked for the rest of my life…..3rd we are not the judge of this only HE can be the final just so Kellz need to count his blessing and the rest of us can move on with our life.

Really I am more shocked about Tim. R. Kelly’s case could have gone either way all along. Heck the girl says it wasn’t her and she didn’t testify. Did the jury even get to see what she looks like to compare her to the tape? Yeah, Tim is definately the bigger story. My heart and prays go out to his family.

Now he’s back to picking up teenage girls around downtown Chicago except this time, he’ll security pat them down so they won’t sneel in a camera/phone and he won’t tape record it.

To me, the prosecution was dumb to take it to trial with no victim. Now, it’s done. He cannot be retried on this.

*sigh*
How to beat a child molestation case:

• Become famous, but more importantly, make a whole lot of money so you can hire good lawyers if you get hemmed up in a pissy situation like this one.
• Use grainy footage when making homemade smut, so that you can deny actually being on tape. HD or Blu-Ray quality sex tape = Jail time. Sh*tty VHS quality = Plausible deniability.
• Put the trial off as long as possible. The longer it takes, the less people remember details(hence, the less-angry they’ll be).
• While awaiting trial, make a nonsense soap-opera song/video, just for the f*ck of it.
• Also, keep working to pay off all of those underage b*tches, I mean, legal matters.
candi got gushy

It was obvious the charges were frivilous and the prosecutors wasted millions of tax dollars to take down a superstar with a mole being their main evidence. Sparkle disgruntled ass premeditating the entire case which backfired in her face. They need to prosecute Lisa for admiting sexual contact with a child under 14.
Vegas Dice

It’s sad that he got off on these charges..

But honestly, both sides allowed this to go on for years.

Her aunts, family, friends, homies saw the tape but no one thought to put his ass in jail then..

If MY aunts woulda seen me on the tape, mannnn – Kelz woulda been hiding in the closet cuz the Fam don’t play!

And he paid off a lot of crucial people like the girl and her family..

I hate it happened, but shame on everyone who never said nothing to begin with..

Deuces!
heart2heart

This is a shame. I agree with katygirl about the second chance R.Kelly’s getting should be a wake up call for him.
tintin

all i can say is wow, money can buy you freedom
http://www.myspace.com/amax79 AKAtastrophy1908

thing is, they went about it the wrong way. 1st, the girl in that video was there because she wanted to be there and was more sexually advanced than me at damn near 30- this isn’t the 1st time she had sex with a man for money and it wasn’t the last. if r. kelly is purposely having sex with young girls, he is wrong. at the same time, if people who originally went after him were trying to get justice for the greater good, he may have been convicted today if he was in fact GUILTY. once again though, because we care less about justice and more about blackmail and money, justice was put on the backburner. if those people were not originally trying to get money from r. kelly and, when he didn’t pay, started trying tell, this may have turned out differently. we will learn one day- hopefully soon.
http://www.myspace.com/amax79 AKAtastrophy1908

…and our daughters aren’t in danger from R. Kelly if they are raised right and aren’t being pimped out by the people that are supposed to be protecting them. I never saw a gun to anyboby’s head to have sex with him and I’m willing to bet that he wasn’t out picking teenage girls off so let’s all just be a little more real…
karaz

@AKAstrophy how much are you willing to bet he’s not our picking children to have sex with, because I need gas money.

People in Chicagoland have said (and have proof) for ages that since R. Kelly cam eon the scene his favoritte place to pick up chicks or send his gophers to do his dirty work are local high schools. He married Aaliyah when she was below the age limit (and he knew her age), he was one tape with this little girl (doesn’t matter how sexually advanced you think she is, the law says adult men shouldn’t be diddling he). even if she was the aggressor in this situation, as the adult, he had the obligation to not screw her.

I guess until it happens to your own children, it’s not a travesty that he gets to willfully violate and abuse children. Let us in deed get real.

I hope his PEEN gets gangrene and falls off.
AlwaysSweet

This makes me so sad. But correct me if I’m wrong, a mole can pop up at anytime anyplace right? I’ve noticed that the older I get the more moles I’m starting to see on my body and I can’t stand it.
shannon04

The main thing that gets me about the whole entire situation is the fact that….after all this has happened to him and he put himself so close to being sent to prison…HE IS STILL GOING TO HAVE SEX AND MESS AROUND WITH YOUNG GIRLS…YOU CAN BET THAT

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The jury without a doubt belived it was R Kelly. They could not prove it was the girl without her admitting it. This is one of those cases that I sure did wish for a hung jury or a mistrial. He will never be charged with having sex with this (now) woman. He is a pediphile and Like MJ it will happen again. Sad thing is it will happen to someone elses’ non adult female family member.
bigqdawg

If you all are really outraged, hit R. Kelly in his wallet. Don’t buy his music, don’t watch his videos, boycott his concerts. I’ve been boycotting him and his music since these allegations were first made public, and won’t stop anytime soon.
Bsoul

I knew it.
Anna

I have not been a R Kelly fan for more than the 6 years he was in court. I don’t buy his music and change the radio station in my car when he is on. His ass knows that he is guilty and even he was surprised with the verdict. The verdict only gives him a pass to continue/resume his perv ways. SMH! Too bad there are parents that pimp their own kids out for money. he is a mofo that got away with this. I guess telling our kids to get a job just got down graded. Be a tramp and you too can get paid.!
