when the singer’s trial on federal child pornography charges resumes Tuesday morning.
Jurors on Monday heard closing arguments from the government and Kelly’s two co-defendants, former business manager Derrel McDavid and former assistant Milton "June" Brown. Jurors should begin deliberations as soon as Tuesday afternoon.Laying out the case against Kelly, Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Pozolo described the trio as a "team" that worked together to hide Kelly’s sexual abuse of underage girls for decades.
She pointed to the government’s strongest evidence against the singer: video that purportedly shows the singer performing sex acts with an underage girl whom Kelly considered his unofficial goddaughter, identified in court by the pseudonym, "Jane." Testimony in the trial spanned four weeks, with Jane herself taking the witness stand to testify that she and her parents for years had lied about sexual abuse by the singer, including false statements made to Chicago police investigators and a state grand jury, which, nonetheless indicted the singer in 2002. Jane did not testify when the singer went to trial in 2008, and he was acquitted by a Cook County jury.
