Not beyond a reasonable doubt, apparently

R. Kelly skated on his child pornography charge: "A high-powered defense team convinced the jury of nine men and three women that the identity of the girl was not conclusive... Mr. Kelly’s lawyers, who included Edward Genson, Sam Adam and his son, Sam Adam Jr., filed so many motions that they helped delay the start of the trial for six years. But once in court, the lawyers adopted a minimalist approach, limiting their side of the story to two days. Mr. Kelly did not testify. At the time this seemed to reveal a weakness of the defense’s case. The defense team never even denied that the tape had been shot in Mr. Kelly’s former home."

Rico says the case seemed flaky, but Kelly was still lucky...
