Quotes
"Robert (R. Kelly) has said all along that he believes in our system, and he believes in God. And that when all the facts came out in court, he'd be cleared of these terrible charges. He did not expect that it would take 6 - 1/2 years. It's been a terrible ordeal for him and his family, and at this point all he wants to do is move forward and try to put it behind him." — Allan MayerChicago Tribune: R. Kelly Acquitted (June 13, 2008)"He sat there and was thanking God. All I heard the entire time those 14 verdicts were being read was thank you Jesus. He is a deeply religious man." — Sam AdamAFP: Star R. Kelly Not Guilty of Child Porn: Verdict (June 13, 2008)
