Child Porno Trial Update

As of Tuesday evening, eight jurors have been chosen for the R. Kelly child pornography trial.

Only eight more to go!

Three jurors were chosen on Monday.

Here’s more info about the new five appointed on Tuesday:

1. A white man in his 40s who has previously served on two juries in civil cases.

2. A white man in his mid-30s, who works as a compliance officer at a downtown investment business.

3. A black woman in her late 20s who works as a teacher’s assistant.

4. A heavy set black man in his late 30s or early 40s who is attending culinary school.

5. A white woman studying criminal justice in college who says she wants to be a police officer.

Of the jurors selected so far, five are men and three are women. Four are African Americans and four are white.

On a sidenote, WE were a point of discussion during jury questioning on Tuesday!

The prosecution grilled a potential juror, a stay at home mom in her 20’s, about her habit of reading PerezHilton.com. The potential juror fessed up to her wonderful habit, but she pointed out that she didn’t read our latest R. Kelly posts. Tisk. Ttisk.

We assume she distanced herself from our last post to appear more ‘fair’.

The ‘Perez’ juror was described as generally agreeable. She hasn’t been dismissed.

Let’s see if she makes it on the panel!
