After six years since the case was charged, R. Kelly was acquitted in the child pornography case Friday after less than a day of deliberations. R. Kelly who was charged in 2002, dabbed tears from his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys right after the verdict was read. If he was proven guilty, he might spend 15 years in prison.
“All I heard (from Kelly) while those 14 verdicts were being read was ‘Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus,’” said Sam Adam Jr., one of his attorneys.
