Prosecutors Drop 7 Charges Vs. R. Kelly
Sat Feb 28,10:43 AM ET


CHICAGO - Prosecutors dropped seven of 21 charges against R&B singer R. Kelly in his child pornography case, in what they described as a routine pretrial move.




Kelly was arrested in June 2002 after a videotape surfaced allegedly showing him having sex with an underage girl. He remains charged with 14 counts of child pornography, and has pleaded innocent.


The seven counts dropped involved charges of soliciting a minor to appear in child pornography, said Jerry Lawrence, spokesman for the Cook County state's attorney's office.


"It's a matter of course in cases like this that we'd drop charges right before trial," Lawrence said Friday.


At a December court hearing, defense lawyer Edward Genson had moved to dismiss those counts, arguing the statute Kelly supposedly violated was enacted after the tape allegedly was shot.


A statement released Friday by the public relations firm that represents Kelly called the decision to drop the seven charges "the first official acknowledgment of the weakness of their case." Genson said he had no comment.


No trial date has been set. The next hearing is April 2.


Kelly, whose first name is Robert, also has been charged with child pornography in Florida.


The 37-year-old singer is known for hits ranging from the Grammy-winning "I Believe I Can Fly" to sexually charged material such as "Ignition," off his recent double-platinum album, "Chocolate Factory."

I know they say it is routine, but this seems like another case of a rich person getting off with a slap on the wrist. I mean come on, when is the darn trial gonna occur? This man has made more money since the whole thing came out! It is really sad because this is yet another way that the community tells little black girls that they arent worth much.

Peace

Or it might be a case where Kelly was "charged up," that is prosecutors threw everything in that the could, hoping the magnitude and volume of the charges against him would make him enter a plea agreement on the most serious charges.

Since it now seems as if this is headed for trial, prosecutors may have simply thrown out all the extra, and harder to prove charges, and are now prepared to try him on what they felt were the serious (and most provable) charges all along.

NEW YORK - Beyonce's little sister is now a married woman. Solange Knowles (news), 17, wed Daniel Smith in a ceremony in the Bahamas over the weekend, according to her record company, Columbia Records. Beyonce, her parents, Mathew and Tina Knowles, and Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland (news) were in attendance.

Don't feel bad and please go there because I was thinking the same thing myself. DAMN! If she wanted publicity, she should have just called Janet...

[CrimsonTide4]

On the RPMB, they have a poll on her delivery date. Imma say late July, early August. Ooooh Brandy. . .

Here is a photo of Solange with possible husband

Solange is either pregnant or tying to draw attention to her "dead" career if she ever had one.... but despite what I may think GOOD LUCK to her and her husband

She was on One on One last week as the girl who Arnez lost his virginity to. Plus she has a movie with Ced, Bow Wow, and Vanessa L. Williams coming out next month.

Johnson Family Vacation


I'm voting on PREGO because this relationship was not even a blurp on EURweb til she popped up as Mrs. Solange.

[AKA2D '91]

I saw the episode. She's still not bonafide STARRA. LOL

I know about the movie. Since it is going to be released soon, you know some have to make sure they stir up controversy BEFORE the release of a film, CD, book, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case with MRS. X.

That's why I say it could be both.

Don't feel bad. I thought the same thing when Wendy Williams announced it on her radio show.

[WenD08]

okay, so there is a bench warrant for Wesley Snipes' arrest. an Indiana woman is claiming that he is the father of her 3-yr. old child. the kicker: she is a "former" (questionable) prostitute/crack addict who claims that the child was conceived in a Chicago-area crack house
ummm...so Nino Brown became Pookie and now frequents crack houses leaving children in his wake? okay, i know ANYTHING is possible but still
