Now the defense for the pied-piper of R&B wants the reporter to take the stand. Defense attorneys filed a motion seeking testimony from Chicago Sun-Times reporter Jim DeRogatis, who in 2002 was sent the sex tape that allegedly shows Kelly having intercourse with an underage girl. Kelly's lawyers want to ask DeRogatis how he came in possession of the tape and if he made copies. For more details, click here
Both R Kelly and the alleged victim deny being in the video. However, seven witnesses thus far have identified the alleged victim and/or R Kelly in the tape (including the alleged victim's mama!) Still the defense is trying to convince the jury that special effects make it look like it was R Kelly, but it was really someone else.
As reported at digitalspy.co.uk, R. Kelly's lawyer Sam Adam Jr. even went as far as using the film Little Man to prove his theory.
During the defence's cross examination of the victim's friend Simha Johnson, Adam asked the witness if she had seen the film Little Man. He said: "They put the head of Marlon Wayans on a midget and it looked real, didn't it?"Jamison replied "Not really!", causing the courtroom to erupt into laughter.

Laughter is right. C'mon now "Little Man"? How naive do they think people are? What do you think of the current "computer graphics made me do it" defense? Will it get R Kelly free?

What? I can't wait for the made for the made-for-TV movies of Robert Kelly and the blockbuster "Dreamgirls"-like motion picture about the rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall and rise of Destiny's Child, with the sequal being all about Beyonce. Little Man...I think I see where he was going with that one:)
