A
Cook County jury on Friday acquitted R&B
superstar R. Kelly of child pornography
charges, marking the end of a high-profile
trial rich in courtroom drama and celebrity
intrigue.
The 41-year-old singer, whose real name
is Robert Kelly, long denied charges that
he videotaped himself engaging in a variety
of sex acts with his then-underage goddaughter.
Authorities said the female in the video
could have been as young as 13 at the
time.
The jury of nine men and three women deliberated
for 7 ½ hours before finding Kelly not
guilty on all 14 counts.
