It's been six years since Robert got charged with all those sex crimes and now with the trial finally getting some jury members on board, Robert's still playing games:
CHICAGO (AP) — Jury selection was completed at R. Kelly's child pornography trial Thursday amid contentious exchanges between prosecutors and defense attorneys, who accused each other of trying to stack the panel along racial lines.
Of the 12 jurors who will open the case, eight are white and four are black. The four alternates include two blacks, one Hispanic and one white.
Defense attorneys objected several times as prosecutors used challenges to have several blacks dismissed from the jury pool.
"I think they're using these (challenges) to get rid of African Americans," said Sam Adam Sr., one of Kelly's attorneys. A little later, he complained that "they've used 50 percent of their challenges on African Americans."
Amazing. And somehow, someway, you just know that the prosecution is going to find some way to mess this up even more with all their ghetto witnesses.
