No Rock And Roll Fun

KELLY GETS SOME RESPITE: There's a little bit of good news for R Kelly, as prosecutors drop seven charges of soliciting a minor to appear in child pornography. R's PR team say this is the first "official acknowledgement of the weakness of their case", although it seems it could be more inspired by the crime not having been created at the time the video was made. Either way, R is still looking at fourteen charges relating to fucking little girls, so it could just be the prosecution have decided that if they're already throwing the book at him, tossing the appendix would just be a waste of effort. The next hearing in Chicago is April 2nd; Kelly is also facing kiddie porn charges in Florida.
