Jury selection for R. Kelly’s federal trial in New York begins
TRT World says R. Kelly, the disgraced R&B superstar who faces a battery of sex abuse charges in several US states, appeared in court as jury selection began in his federal New York trial.
The 54-year-old appeared stoic in a navy blue suit as the questioning of jurors began in the Brooklyn court, where he faces charges of racketeering, sexual exploitation of a child, kidnapping, bribery and forced labor, spanning from 1994 to 2018.
Deveraux Cannick, one of Kelly’s lawyers, was reticent when asked by AFP how he was feeling, smiling and saying: “Just another Monday.”
