News It’s Not Looking Good For R. Kelly
posted by on May 16 at 12:59 PM
From the Chicago Sun Times:
THE R. KELLY JURORSThe jury of eight whites and four blacks includes:
* An African-American woman whose husband is a Baptist pastor
* An African-American man who identified himself as a Christian
* A white male executive with two kids who said he thinks Kelly is guilty and that “child pornography is about as low as it gets”
* A 20-something white woman studying criminal justice who wants to be a police officer
* An African-American man who is a culinary student
* A white man who has served on two civil juries that arrived at a verdict
* A black woman who is a teacher’s assistant at a Catholic school
* A white male compliance officer at a downtown investment firm who had an “Impeach Bush” button on his book bag
* A white woman who works in a suburban high school
* A 68-year-old man who emigrated to the United States from Romania
* A white man who recently graduated from the University of Kansas and was once arrested for marijuana possession
* A white male with a goatee whose brother was once turned down for a job with the state’s attorney’s office
Wow. I'd love to see who the defense used their challenges on if they let the rape victim and the guy who already thinks R. Kelly is guilty onto the jury - was it like Nancy Reagan and the chick from actual R. Kelly video? WTF??!
Granted, my pity jar for Herr Kelly is pretty much empty. I've been harboring a grudge ever since my lawsuit charging him with crimes against music for "I Believe I Can Fly" was dismissed on the grounds that it was total fucking bullshit. I think 5-10 in a PMITA prison might, at the very least, improve the quality of his music.
His mind's tellin him no.
But the juuuury says yes!
Wack post Kirby.
Anybody who thinks they can speculate what the freakin verdict is going to be based on these really (important?) details (culinary student?) or character-defining(?) events (once arrested for marijuana possession) is an idiot. Shit, I think I know at least one person who could fit into any one (or three) of these categories. A post like this is pretty offensive to this young, white, male college graduate who was once arrested for marijuana possession.
Better just let the jury decide based on the facts presented in the case dude.
I think it's fair to say (not wack) that several of the jurors are going to be immediately unsympathetic to Kelly's case. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, since, although I enjoy the man, my initial inclination is that he's guilty as shit.
"several" is not unanimous and the jury's gotta be unanimous to convict.
pretty much all juries contain at least "several" individuals who are unsympathetic to people who commit crimes, so i'm still not sure where you're going with this.
#1 - "Improve his quality of music?" This is spoken like a man who has not heard "Real Talk," "The Zoo," "Sex Planet," "I'm a Flirt," "Sex Planet," or (I really shouldn't have to say it) "Trapped in the Closet."
FREE KELLS!
best case scenario: kells delivers a rousing and convincing version of 'real talk' from the stand and the jury unanimously declare him poet laureate for the future.
a man named Milton confesses to the crime FTW
Lar knows. Ha!
@2- +1!!
