Nearly six years after the alleged sex tape first surfaced, the court proceedings in theR. Kelly case continue to move at a snail's pace. The prosecutors originally sought to have testimony from one expert witness, Dr. Sharon Cooper, cover several different areas — the age of the girl on the tape based on forensic pediatrics, the identification of the man on the tape based on the vein pattern on his hands, and the behavior profile of the girl based on the psychology of child sex-abuse victims. Judge Vincent Gaughan had previously ruled that Dr. Cooper could testify about the victim's age, but not the behavior profile, so prosecutors had asked him to reconsider.

Him or his lawyer must have a million excuses to prolong a trial for 6 years...
let me tell you this. i know why everybody hates on michael jackson, but why does every body still love this guy? is it because he pissed on little girls and not boys? im curious how they drag out a case that has video evidence. im not ignorant to the fact that video can be doctored but the never had vids on MJ. WTF?!?!?!?
This should have been taken care of quickly and I personally don't like him or care what he did but his music isnt all bad and thats what it comes down to w/ the fans because it's not like anyone hangs out with the dude we just listen to his music. Same goes for Michael Jackson.
I see your point though. People do hate on MJ alot but thats because he looks like a clown and the children were very young. We accept Kells more cause he looks like every other human being and the chick was a girl in her late teens and almost legal and it looked very consentual even though it was wrong. Who is to say she didnt lie about her age either. Really he isnt in the same class as MJ havin sleepovers with young children.
