Heebie Jeebies: Watching vacation slides with R.Kelly (in court)
Posted by Miss Info under crime , life beyond rap , not good for humanity , sigh.... , videos[11] Comments
UPDATE:
Ok, mole or no mole…..today the trial got more realer. And this new defense strategy that the video features some industrial-lights-and-magic rendering of RKelly….is a joke.
From the Associated Press:
On Wednesday, Simha Jamison, 24, said she and the alleged victim were best friends for about 10 years until their junior year in high school — and that she knows her friend’s face quite well.
She testified she and her friend visited Kelly at his recording studio and at a Chicago basketball court dozens of times starting when they were around the age of 12.
Her friend first introduced her to Kelly as “her godfather,” Jamison said, adding that the singer frequently gave her friend cash gifts — “no less than $100 and no more than $500.”
She said the two also visited the home where authorities say the sex tape was filmed. Jamison said she saw the tape in 2002 and again just before testifying.
Jamison remained insistent under tough cross-examination later in the day from defense attorney Sam Adam Jr.
Adam said the reason the alleged victim never told the witness she was having a sexual relationship with Kelly was because there wasn’t one and “because it’s not her on the tape.”
“Are you asking or telling me?” Jamison shot back.

During the cross-examination, the defense also revealed their strategy may be to suggest Kelly’s image was computer-generated. “Something could have been done to put a different head on that body,” Adam said. He also referred to movies where characters had been digitally altered.
The 41-year-old Kelly, who has pleaded not guilty, faces up to 15 years if convicted.
The prosecution’s first few witnesses were geared toward identifying the alleged victim on the tape that prosecutors say was made between Jan. 1, 1998, and Nov. 1, 2000.
Jamison’s father, Peter Thomas, testified that the alleged victim’s involvement in the video was the talk of their neighborhood. When his daughter heard about it in 2002, he said she would cry herself to sleep but wouldn’t discuss it.
He watched the video for the first time before testifying Wednesday and identified the girl, guessing that she must have been about 14 or 15 in the video.
Earlier Wednesday, John Kelly, a retired investigator with the Cook County state’s attorney’s office, testified that a room in a Chicago home once owned by the singer strongly resembles the distinctive room in the video.
Kelly said he visited the sprawling red brick home on Chicago’s North Side in 2002 and saw what he described as a “hot tub room” with the same log-cabin theme as the room in the video.
During cross examination, the defense countered that Kelly moved out of the home at least several weeks before the investigator arrived.

i hope r. kelly goes to jail and at least he’ll go to hell. i have no POV of r kelly because i have never been a fan of his and knew after his dealings with aaliyah, he was cruddy. he’s a sick dude and anybody who champions his situation needs to think about their little girl, niece or sister being preyed upon by dudes like him. just because r. kelly has money and makes decent songs doesn’t mean he’s any better than any of those people in “to catch a predator”. the term is pedophilia and it’s a sickness punishable by law. that nigga (for lack of a better term) needs to be in jail, if anything to set an example.

Real Talk, if he did it (havent seen the tape) an dnot gonna seeing as it would be considered child pornography which is illegal) it was wrong. But from what I hear she was not “preyed upon” as u said. basically she was with it so throw that out the window. I dont feel he should go to jail I mean this shit is like 15 years old. isn;t there a limit on this type of shit

YaBoy, are you for real? According to her friends testimony right up there she and the girl R Kelly took a piss on were 12 years old when he started working on her. Should 12yrolds be held responsible for grown men in their 30’s taking advantage of them? If it’s not a flat out rape it’s cool with you if a man wanna fuck children? You must’ve read something wrong somewhere. Tell me you did?

if they could find a 12 yr old guilty of shooting someone and tri them as a adult and they can get a life sentence in jail a 12yr old can decide who the fuck she wanna get pissed on about… all im saying is if r kelly is guilty bec the girl is underage then the booy who shot his nieghbor or the kid who did the wrestling move to his sister should be innocent am i right?

Isaiah, those cases should be handled by social services and not the police. USA is the only country in the civilized world (if we should even include yall) that try 12yrolds as adults, and that’s just as perverse as pissing on them.

Well, lots of 12 year olds are having sex anyways so they KNOW what they’re doing all right! Whether babygirl wanted to do it with Kells is a another story. Her parents should’ve taught her better values & that money aint everything. Chicago is FULLA yung girls who walk the streets to get picked up and will do WHATEVER to whoever for a some money cuz their parents AINT SHIT!!!! Those other grown niggas just aint STUPID enuff to RECORD IT!!
