What did R Kelly do? The former singer is charged with trial-fixing, child pornography and enticing minors for sex.
The disgraced singer, once a music industry icon, is on trial with two men intertwined with Kelly's career, including his former business manager, Derrel McDavid, and former employee, Milton Brown.
Jennifer Bonjean, Kelly's attorney, argued Tuesday: "This man did some beautiful things with his music. And he should not be stripped of every bit of humanity... I ask more importantly and to remember each count counts and take the time you need...Mr. Kelly deserves it no matter what you think of him."
She concluded: "Find Robert Kelly guilty of sexually abusing these young women....Find Mr. McDavid and Mr. Brown guilty for agreeing with Kelly to cover up the videos.""I do think it has come into focus how much Mr. Kelly has been prejudiced having a joint trial," she said. A key witness for the government is a woman who calls herself Jane and identified herself in videos with Kelly when she was 14 years old.
