ENTERTAINMENT Jury selection to begin in R&B singer R. Kelly trial
CHICAGO — It seemed for a while as if R. Kelly's day in court might never come.
But after six years of repeated delays, jury selection begins Friday in the Grammy-winning R&B singer's trial on child pornography charges, prompted by a videotape allegedly showing Kelly having sex with a girl as young as 13.
Prosecutors will have a unique challenge: The alleged victim, now 23, said it wasn't her. And Kelly's
attorneys — including Ed Genson, who often represents the rich and famous — haven't admitted it's Kelly in the video.
"How is there not reasonable doubt when the two people say it's not them?" Michael Helfand, a Chicago attorney not involved in the case, said.
But Helfand conceded that it's unclear what supporting evidence the prosecution might present.
The 41-year-old Kelly faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. But Kelly — one of urban music's biggest stars and a consistent hitmaker despite his legal woes — is glad the
wait is over, his spokesman said.
The trial is expected to draw crowds of reporters and fans to the courthouse. But Gaughan is expected to keep a tight rein on the proceedings, from which cameras, cell phones and recorders are banned.
The centerpiece of the trial is likely to be the video footage, which Judge Vincent Gaughan ruled may be shown in open court.
"Every waking moment, he's always had this hanging over his head," spokesman Allan Mayer said.

big stuff done and rearrange
the rest.

The more money you stash away, the more you'll want to buy. Narrow it down to one special item, so you don't feel so bad if you can't get everything else. It's a good trick.

Sometimes, like now, people want to do things their own way. Counsel against impetuous behavior. In time, the other guy will have to admit you're right.
Graciously accept compliments from a person who thinks you're great. You're an inspiration to many. You might as well get used to it.
You're outgrowing several old phobias that used to slow you down. It's a natural process, so don't worry about it. Relax and let them go.
