Relatives: Girl isn't in Kelly sex tape :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: The R. Kelly trial
Summary from United States, from articles in English
Three relatives of the girl who allegedly appears in a sex videotape with R&B superstar R. Kelly took the stand Wednesday and each said the girl on the tape is not their family member. (article 25) A woman testified today that the female who appears in a sex video is her best friend from childhood who was 13 or 14 at the time the tape was made - and that the man in the tape is R&B superstar R. Kelly. (article 22) Boliker did not say which witnesses the defense wants charged, or with what, but Kelly's team has repeatedly questioned why witnesses who had seen the sex tape at the center of the case did not contact police sooner. (article 12) The decision by Kelly's defense team means the jury won't hear from the singer or from the woman who prosecutors say appears on the sex videotape at the heart of the case. (article 10) The star prosecution witness who testified she had three-way sex with R. Kelly and the alleged victim in his child-pornography case said Friday the singer's "star power" apparently overwhelmed jurors who found Kelly not guilty. (article 1) Lawyers for Kelly hammered the prosecution witnesses, suggesting the tape was doctored and part of a plot by relatives to get money from the singer. (article 23)
