The trial of singer R. Kelly has been dragging on for months, despite evidence that perjury and contradictions have been proven in court. This is a big stretch for the prosecution, who have yet to prove any of their claims against the singer. The case began in February 2019 when Kelly was charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse involving four victims, three of whom were minors at the time. Since then, there have been numerous appeals and motions filed by both sides as well as contradictory testimony from witnesses. In addition, it has recently come to light that some of the witnesses may have committed perjury during their testimonies. Despite all this evidence, the prosecution continues to push forward with their case against Kelly. This has led many people to question why they are still pursuing this case when there is so much doubt surrounding it. It also raises questions about whether or not justice will be served in this case if the prosecution continues to ignore these issues and press forward regardless. The situation has become even more complicated due to another state case against Kelly which is still pending. Many people are concerned that if this other case goes through then it could lead to a double jeopardy situation where Kelly would be tried twice for the same crime – something which would be illegal under US law. At this point, it seems unlikely that any resolution will be reached anytime soon as both sides continue to battle it out in court over these issues. It remains unclear what will happen next but one thing is certain – R. Kelly’s trial looks set to drag on for some time yet despite all the evidence suggesting otherwise.
