Prosecutors are scheduled to call two rebuttal witnesses at R. Kelly child pornography’s trial.
Kelly’s attorneys surprised courtroom observers by resting their case Monday. Over two days, Kelly’s lawyers called 12 witnesses. One was a forensics expert who testified there didn’t appear to be a mole on the back of a man in a sex tape at the center of the case. Defense attorneys say Kelly has a mole on his back, so the man on the tape can’t be him. But a prosecution witness who’ll take the stand for a second time is expected to challenge that claim. Closing arguments are likely to be Thursday. Kelly has pleaded not guilty to child pornography for allegedly videotaping himself having sex with an underage girl.
