R Kelly - next stop Neverland Ranch

I have been following the news of the sudden death of Tim Russert when I was sent a message from a friend. R Kelly has skipped justice.

As many who have read my many political thoughts know, I am a political junkie. Tim Russert was a large figure in accurately reporting the political news. He was fair and grounded, and well researched. His loss makes a large difference in politics. My condolences to his family and friends.

As for the travesty of justice, R Kelly. I can’t say I’m amazed that the jury came out with their answer on a Friday and late in the day. Even if the news currently wasn’t filled with the shocking news of Mr. Russert, I think the R Kelly news would have still been buried.

The media knew this would be the outcome. The courts knew this was a set-up.

After delays for 6 years the defense finally allowed this case to come to court when they knew that the celebrity star power of this alleged pedophile would outshine the crime he was accused of. Obviously I feel this was a failure to punish someone that needed to be punished.

How do I know this was expected? How do I know that celebrity skewed justice? Well look at how Yahoo News reported this in their first sentence

“R. Kelly was acquitted of all charges Friday after less than a day of deliberations in his child pornography trial, ending a six-year ordeal for the R&B superstar.” [emphasis added by me]

His ordeal. Not the victim. He was attacked and don’t forget he is a superstar entertainer.

Pitiful.

Does the Black community know if R Kelly was guilty? Well here is one source that proclaimed what many, including myself, believed.



I again will say that I hope he loses all his money and never has another successful album or tour. It is only my opinion, but I feel R Kelly is a pedophile. I believe he is a troubled and sick individual. And I am bewildered that anyone continues to buy his music.

The jury felt I was wrong. After 6 years of delays, and practice to get their case figured out I’m not surprised. Give anyone 4 high-end lawyers and 6 years and you can get off of anything, even being videotaped violating the law and a child.

I’m not upset with the lawyers; they did their job and were paid well for it. How they sleep at night is their own issue. But I feel that the jury failed justice. And I have nothing else to say about it.
