The Return of Sparkle

I really liked R. Kelly and Sparkle's duet, "Be Careful," back in the day, and she proved the lyrics right in court yesterday, when R. Kelly's defense lawyer got on her nerves. The alleged victim in the case is Sparkle's niece, and Sparkle testified for an hour and a half in court. "You know your blood," Sparkle said. "She's my niece. You just know your family. There's no denying it. … She was my heart." Later, when Kelly's lawyer suggested that she was in it for the money, she said, "Sweetie, I'm not trying to get any money for this!" The lawyer snapped back, "I'm not your sweetie!" Meanwhile, a 49-year-old woman was arrested at the courthouse for hanging by an elevator that transports the jury and screaming, "Free R. Kelly." It's a circus, basically.

I wonder if R.Kelly had molested young boys instead of girls would there be so many people saying that he is inocent or that the young girls wanted "it".

Is he being tried for molestation or sex with a minor? I think they are different charges?

Either way - the sun is setting on his days as a free man. He better 'fiesta' it up while he can…sans 14 y.o. girls preferably.

I heard they treat guys with those type raps in prison very bad!!! Even prisoners don't see this as a "respectable" crime!

Chic Noir,
Thank you girl. I've been saying that for like the past 6 years. He'd have been ostracized and shamed if he were messing with boys.

Anonymiss, this just goes to show that BW must unite to make sure this sickio gets what's coming to him.

Didn't we see this coming already?
I mean The Boondocks did an entire episode on the trial almost 3 years ago.
If this fool gets up on a table and starts singing, I'm gonna have say that Aaron McGruder is the second coming of Nostradamus.
