R Kelly trial: Day 16
Testimony in the R Kelly. child pornography case came to an end today (June 10) after the R&B star told the judge he doesn't plan to testify in his own defence.
Judge Vincent Gaughan told Kelly he had the right not to testify, and Kelly spoke at the trial for the first time, saying "I decided not to testify."
Also, the prosecution learned last night (June 9) that images from the sex tape at the heart of the trial were compressed and lost significant detail when transferred to the DVD that was shown in court.
The judge reportedly made no mention of this when he dismissed the jury until closing arguments begin on Thursday. The accuracy of the video could be significant because part of the defence's arguments revolves around a mole that appears and disappears on the back of the man in the tape.
The defence has said that the man could not be their client because he does not have a mole on his back, as R Kelly. does.
Gaughan asked the prosecution and defence to work together to resolve the matter, reports the Chicago Tribune.
Kelly faces child pornography charges for allegedly videotaping himself having sex with a minor some time between 1998 and 2000.
If Kelly is found guilty of the charges, he could face up to 15 years in prison.

Charlize Theron blasts celebrity culture
Actress Charlize Theron has slammed celebrities who seek media attention in order to further their careers.
In an interview with GQ magazine, the Oscar-winning star said: "It comes across as this really sad need for approval. I've heard people make comments like, 'You don't really want to be in the tabloids but you need to be for your career'. They believe it's actually important. It's not. It's ugly."
She also slated the paparazzi, saying: "Like, your life belongs to us now? That's the deal? I didn't get that memo. It wasn't sent to me and I didn't sign it."
"People say, 'That's your job'. It really isn't, actually. It's not my job to go out there and make an ass out of myself."

N.E.R.D, Seeing Sounds
Remember when N.E.R.D. seemed like the coolest idea music had ever had? A meeting place for all the brilliant ideas running around in Pharrell Williams' mountainous imagination? All the best bits of rock, soul, electronica and hip hop? The electronic element died a death when their In Search Of… debut flopped and was re-recorded with a full live band. The rest of it came a cropper some time around their second album, Fly Or Die, which did neither, but just revealed the leaden band of Chili Peppers wannabes underneath. It also showed that, while Williams' genius in the studio was unquestioned, when presented with a pen and a blank piece of paper his stream of creativity didn't run quite so deep.
Album three reheats much of what's been before. N.E.R.D – Williams, Neptunes partner Chad Hugo and Shay Haley - are still so much better when they keep their rock influences in check and the riffing on the back burner. Kill Joy sounds like a Queens Of The Stone Age high school band, wasting a brilliant squally bassline and loose percussion on a vocal lacking power or drama, while the proggy Lazer Guns should've been left behind with Williams' childhood Star Wars obsession.
But there are moments when it all comes true and the reality of the 21st century's most gifted polymath letting loose lives up to the on-paper promise. Everyone Nose, which mixes up Dirty South rap with hectic double bass and a song about club babes queuing up for nose candy, works precisely because it's so improbable, as do the mutant Anti Matter and Spaz, whose skittering drums and fizzy chorus just about withstand the onslaught of piledriving rock riffs. Seeing Sounds is beautiful in places, but would be more so if N.E.R.D didn’t make a song and dance out of everything inside their head.
