I guess we should’ve saw this coming being delayed 6 years and all…turns out the jury believed it was Kelz on the tape but didn’t think they proved the girl was underage.
We’ll probably hear him drop a “told y’all it wasn’t me” freestyle next week. Most likely on the A Millie beat.

MTV has an interesting article giving profile summaries of each of R. Kelly’s 12 jurors. Here are 3:
Juror #69 is a white male in his 30s who is the vice president of national accounts for his company and travels a lot for work. He listens to NPR and reads Forbes and the Wall Street Journal, but his wife reads Us Weekly. He once sought employment from the attorney general’s office, and he believes that the criminal-justice system has a bias against minorities. He’s the father of two small children, and he believes that “child porn is as low as it gets.” On his jury questionnaire, he said that he believed Kelly was guilty, but he told the lawyers he’s willing to put that aside to hear the evidence.
Juror #32 is a black female in her late 20s who works as a teaching assistant at a Catholic school where there was a sex scandal (a priest was accused of molesting two boys). She had heard of Kelly and his onetime protégé Sparkle and knew the name of the alleged victim but didn’t know her personally. She discussed the video in question with her friends, and they’re split — some think it was him, some think it wasn’t. “I’m not sure,” she said. “I can’t say.”
Which brings us to Juror #68. She’s a white woman in her 20s who did her undergraduate studies and graduate work out of state. When asked why she has a personalized license plate about violence prevention, she said it was because of her rape case, for which she had sought justice but prosecutors didn’t get an indictment. When asked if she could put aside what happened to her for this case, she said, “It would be very hard, but yes.” When asked if she could be impartial in a case involving pornography with a child, she said, “It would be really difficult, but yes.”
