There’s no way to give him a fair trial, the government knows this.

I believe in fairness. If the allegations are true then convict him. But he shouldn't be the only one who should be charged and imprisoned. The parents and the girl all took money for years allegedly. It's a sad situation overall. But the truth is the parents are just as guilty if they can pimp their kids for payouts.

#FreeRobert Throw this BULLSHIT CASE AWAY.

The US law sucks! Yet, you talk of justice, fairness and equity! How can the jury be fair if they would have pre-judged R Kelly before the trial? Common.... It's a charade! The courts should bring this to a conclusion! Period!

[cathywiggins]

Me personally i don't think that it would be fair for any jury that has watched the documentary to be chosen because they're minds are already made up. There should be no jury member who as been thinking inside the box because a trial is to be out the box no matter how you feel because it's based on ones personal feelings and thoughts when in fact the decisions are supposed to be based on truth and fact's and if the judge can't seem to understand that then 99% of him or her is bias themselves and using they're position as an advantage. They need to be fair or nothing because that's not how the law works.

[jasonsmith]

Horrible . Leave r Kelly alone . What aren’t they doing this to trump ? Wasn’t trump and Epstein best friends ?

[jasondawson]

I’m looking for facts not fiction these tapes clearly show R Kelly with some type of women in that tape the tape seems sensual not forced

[mstyah]

Even if they request this, look at how many people watched the 2002 sex tape or will do in court?

The documentary was light compared to the sex tape.

[Mamadagreatt]

They all crazy and whoever else believes this happened

[jaklak]

The honorable list ethically bake because fold spectacularly deserve towards a defiant octagon. hapless, useless slice

[jaysaburo]

I bet he wish he could fly
That he could touch the sky
I believe he’s saying why
I believe he says that she lie
And he only touched her thigh
I believe
I I I believe
I hope that believe me

[killdadevil]
