R. Kelly Trial: The Defense Rests Without Testimony From Singer or Victim

R. Kelly's defense team rested their case Monday after just two days and 12 witnesses. The Grammy award-winning singer did not take the stand in the child pornography case surrounding an infamous sex tape allegedly starring Kelly and an underage girl.

The prosecution is expected to call two rebuttal witnesses today. Forensics expert Grant Fredericks will be called back to the stand to testify whether the defense's video expert Charles Palm could accurately testify that he could not see the questionable mole/dark spot. The prosecution will also recall Atlanta prosecutor Robert Wolf, who's expected to testify that the fiance of the prosecution's star witness Lisa Van Allen was not offered a deal in exchange for Van Allen's testimony.

Kelly is charged with 14 counts of child pornography. If convicted, the singer faces up to 15 years in prison.

Honestly all this nonsense about R kelly & his child porn stuff has ben going on for 10+yrs & it will never stop. He is a known artist & is well respected by his TRUE fans. He will always be loved & respected no matter what legal mess is being brought upon him. When he was first accused, that gave the media & everyone else a "red light" to keep gossiping on & making sure that they made something out of nothing some way or another. I think that the media is full of crap due thsi simple fact: Do you see them making a big deal about Micheal Jackson building an amusement park strictly for little kids? No, you don't but than again it's ok for his fans to cry, scream, passout at concerts & practically live their lifes off of Micheal, but noone says nothing about that? R kelly will always be known for his talents & vocals that made him whom he is taday. NOONE, not the media, parents, society, judges, attorneys, doctors & whom ever else is against him will EVER be able to change that. One last thing:
************************************************* NOONE IN THIS SOCIETY HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE ANYONE FOR ANYTHING(ESPECIALLY IF THEY DID NOT SEE OR HEAR IT THEMSELFS). SO ALL YOU OUT THERE WHOM LIVE YOUR LIFES JUDGEING PEOPLE FOR THEIR FAULTS THINK ABOUT THIS, NOONE MAY HAVE SEEN YOUR MISTAKE YOU ONCE MADE NOR HEARD IT BUT WHO'S JUDGEING YOU??????
