I have told people that depending on the jury pool that R Kelly might get away with this again.
In Chicago, he has a ton of supporters.
Case in point.
An overseas trip by R. Kelly is in limbo after his attorney asked for more time to provide details about concerts the singer wants to perform next month in Dubai.
A Chicago hearing only briefly touched on a defense motion this week asking the judge in Kelly’s sexual-assault case for permission for him to travel to the United Arab Emirates earn money from up to five concerts.
Attorney Steve Greenberg told reporters outside court that he wanted to gather more information on the concerts to give Judge Lawrence Flood “a certain comfort level” about what the travel and concerts would entail.
He arrived at a Chicago courthouse Friday morning for a hearing in the case and was flanked by a large entourage including his legal team and bodyguards.
A fan who was waiting outside handed him a red rose and a card as the troubled star left Leighton Criminal Court following the hearing.
Flip the pages for video of Kelly at the courthouse and photos of the woman giving him the rose.
