Created On: Thursday, 08 May 2008 Hits: 13  R Kelly R Kelly's team filed a motion yesterday saying "a torrent of publicity" has surrounded the case, and appealed for a postponement in order for Kelly to have a fair trial. The motion refers to a recent decision by Judge Vincent Gaughan to allow testimony from a woman who says she had a sexual encounter with Kelly and the underage girl in the child pornography video at the root of the case. It is thought the motion to postpone will be rejected, as the trial has been pending for almost 6 years. Members of the media, including the Associated Press, recently filed an emergency motion to have the hearings in the trial open to media coverage, however, the court ruled that Kelly can only face a fair trial if the hearings are closed. Selection will begin tomorrow (May 9), during which 150 people will be interviewed for the jury. Share this article to:
