All twelve jurors and the four alternates in R. Kelly’s child-pornography case have been selected. The jury’s age demographic spans from young to middle age adults and features some interesting back-stories. Take, for example, Juror Sixty-nine, a white male in his thirties who says, “child porn is as low as it gets.” There’s also Juror Forty-eight, a white male in his twenties who was arrested for underage drinking and possession of marijuana, thinks people with money can afford better lawyers and followed the case against Michael Vick. Juror Six, a black female in her forties, lives in the same area of Chicago as Kelly but “does not know much about him.” In fact, most jurors on the case had heard of Kelly, but they weren’t that familiar with his music, as one juror said the only song he knew was “I Believe I Can Fly.” The trial was set to begin Monday, but Juror Twenty-one, a college senior, has a final on Monday, which pushed the proceedings to Tuesday.
