    first of all, I hate when people say "first"…are you that bored that you need to care that much about being the first to blog on here? And second, it doesn't matter how old that girl was, she consented to the sex so why should he be in trouble? 13 year olds can be hookers too!

    is everyone REALLY that shoked. How often are celebs really punnished for their crimes? Nicole Ricci's hour long stay in jail, or how about Lindsey's lil nose candy habit! come on kids! we know better. Even so, i toally agree with all of ya! there was a video! maybe the broad was looking for a 'get rich quick' sceam tho, we will NEVER know! Being Rich and Famous GETS you everything and OUT of everything.

    627

    all i have to say is "are the jurors blind!? did they see the tape? I did and that was the "R" peeing on that baby!

    there is no justice! i might as well go kill my ex and rob a bank!

    Ya'll know that was Rkelly on that tape just as sure as michael jackson needs to be in jail right next to rkelly.

    Just because they make great music does not mean that their horrid behavior should be excused!

    yeah i said it!

    Our judicial system is way too fucked up. Baby rapers get 6 years, serving 3 to get out and kill the next one. Why would it be any different for a rich ass.

  29. Fred- says – reply to this


    629

    Heh - to all your tards saying "they have a video of it"…Do you have any idea how our justice system works?

    If they can push enough reasonable doubt to the jurors that it wasn't him or the chick they thought it was, then that's enough to acquit.

    has nothing to do about money, etc.

    You morons need to move, like, to australia or something

    639

    Wow @ the hatred here. It doesn't matter how you feel about the thought of what the man might have done this. He was proven NOT GUILTY!! Does that not mean anything! The fact remains this simple: 1. Even the, at the time underaged, "victim" claimed that it wasn't her. 2. Family can be a BITCH at times and think more about the money they could get from a doctored tape than what this child whom is now an adult will have to live with. The shame and ridicule they imposed upon her! P.S. I know this from experience. This happened to a good friend of mine and a very powerful doctor who's distant family thought they could get some money out of the doc due to the close relationship that he had with is God-daughter!! That has been with her forever!! And it nearly ruined a GREAT doc. Please don't judge things so quickly, only God has the right to judge. If he did indeed do it, Karma and God's wrath is a B__ch!!



  40. 640

    Do you people forget that you are INNOCENT until proven guilty? Jesus, give the guy a break. They found it wasn't him in the tape and the alleged victim said it wasn't her in the tape what verdict would you have passed? Retards

    You people are ridiculous. How does anyone "KNOW" that hes guilty? Were you in the court room? I think everyone just thinks that since they watched an episode of Chepelles Show that now they know everything on the planet. Quit hating and get a life you 13 year old losers.

    Based on all that debate about whether or not the tape was fake, of course he'd come out not guilty. There's no "beyond a reasonable doubt"…..the jury had doubts in their mind. His lawyers did an awesome job.

    664

    If anyone is even reading comments this far in…

    This is exactly why there should be regulations of civil trial when criminal proceedings are being run simultaneously. It's what happened with Kobe Bryant — and it may have happened here. All civil settlements include a confidentiality clause (sometimes the "clause" is two pages long) … and there is often an "unspoken" agreement that the victim is not to cooperate with law enforcement.

    As much as I think R Kelly is a sicko who needs to be shot in the head, there's no way the legal system shoudl be used to convict on the basis of a sex tape where the purported victim denies that it is them on the recording. You should not be able to use a criminal proceeding to re-victimize a person.

    I can only hope that the law enforcement folks stalk R Kelly and bring him in for something else, as with OJ's B&E charges.

    It makes me sad that people don't understand the justice system.

    There are 3 findings a jury can make: innocent, not guilty, and guilty. Innocent means he didn't do it. Not guilty, however, just means that the crown didn't have an airtight case.

    675

    R. Kelly is DEFINITELY the man in the tape. He has a HISTORY of seducing, sexing and urinating on very young girls. His current girlfriend is in her late 20's, yet he has a history of going after girls who are, at the very oldest, 16 years old. Anything over 16 can be dripping wet, but the man is NOT interested. Kelly has had YEARS and a ton of money to buy this girl AND her family. She has been living in seclusion in Chicago because Kelly and his apes have offered her an under-the-table deal for her to do what she did today….get on the stand and deny that it was even her. Whether or not she was asking for it is NOT the point. The girl was underaged and Kelly is a pervert! What makes me REALLY angry about him is that whenever he (and other celebs) get into trouble, it only enhances their pocketbooks. For every scandal that Kelly garners, his CD sales go through the roof! As a society, we must STOP supporting these skanky and classless and perverted individuals (e.g., R. Kelly, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardasian, Nicole Ritchie, Britney Spears, etc.).

  80. Darre says – reply to this


    680

    Re: B – It's actually Voila…the V is pronounced as a W. Oh, and whether or not he really was guilty, it doesn't necessarily mean he paid anybody off…it just means he had great lawyers that were able to make it to where the prosecution team couldn't prove him guilty…it's like this case I heard of about a guy who had a car accident with a fifteen year old…the guy was drunk at the time and the fifteen year old ended up dying. But the guy got off with a normal DUI sentence and $250,000 to help ease his little bit of time in jail. Why? Because his lawyer came up with the defense that if the fifteen year old wasn't driving illegally (he was on a permit and driving with another fifteen year old in the car) then he wouldn't have crashed into him and the kid wouldn't have died. The jury really couldn't fight that battle because they had a point…so after getting his DUI sentencing, they then in turn counter-sued the family for the damages done to his car and his bodily injury and stuff. So I say blame the lawyers for finding legal loopholes in stuff…that's what really kills a prosecutions case.

    Does it really surprise anyone? He's black, rich, makes god awful shitty music which alloys him to do whatever he wants to do. Next he'll make another un listenable album that throngs of ignorant sheep will praise. Know that when you buy this douchebags cd's, you're supporting a child molester. But hey, he almost went to jail so that raises his street cred to god like status. You people are senseless and should do us all a favor and just kill yourselves.

    Is everyone upset that he was found not guilty of the crime or that fact that as a black man, he was found not guilty? Either way, he was found innocent by a jury of his peers so as mad as you think you are, it should probably be directed to the prosecutors who had flawed evidence…..and let's all remember Marv Albert and Joey Buttafuco….where was that same outrage then?

    NOT GUILTY BY REASON OF CELEBRITY! AMAZING!



  92. 692

    I'm tired of people saying our justice system is fucked up. It had nothing to do with how our justice system functions. It wasn't a technicality or anything like that. There was no mistake on the prosecution's part, there was no loophole that the defense attorney found. He was found not guilty by 12 of his PEERS. And I'm sorry, compared ot other justice systems in the world, which would you rather have again? That's what I thought. I work for law enforcement and it might not be perfect, it's DEFINITELY not perfect, but it's the best, most fair one out there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that his $$$ or his celebrity had nothing to do with this… I'm sure it played a big part…but a jury found him not guilty. And to whomever said "they will appeal it"…uhm hi, prosecution can't appeal a not guilty verdict. What legal system are YOU thinking of?

  97. 697

    Re: allie – Actually, criminal cases take precedent over civil cases in all courts in the united states. Once a case becomes a criminal case and has been indicted, the only way to get all the police reports, etc. (called "discovery" in the legal world) is to file a right to know request. And prosecution will not disclose that information until the criminal case is finished because of problems with witness contaimination and confidentiality stuff. They only stuff they would disclose to a civil attorney before a disposition was reached would be public documents such as indictments and orders/scheduling notices. Just an fyi. :)
