R. Kelly Acquitted On All Counts

R. Kelly was acquitted of all charges Friday after less than a day of deliberations in his child pornography trial, ending a six-year ordeal for the R&B superstar.

Kelly dabbed his face with a handkerchief and hugged each of his four attorneys after the verdict — not guilty on all 14 counts — was read. The Grammy award-winning singer had faced 15 years in prison if convicted.

Minutes later, surrounded by bodyguards, he left the courthouse without comment. Dozens of fans screamed and cheered as he climbed into a waiting SUV.

"All I heard (from Kelly) while those 14 verdicts were being read was 'Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus,'" said Sam Adam Jr., one of his attorneys.

Prosecutors had argued that a video tape mailed to the Chicago Sun-Times in 2002 showed Kelly engaged in graphic sex acts with a girl as young as 13 at the time. Both Kelly, 41, and the now 23-year-old alleged victim had denied they were the ones on the tape. Neither testified during the trial...

"Robert said all along that he believed in our system and he believed in God — and that when all the facts came out in court, he would be cleared of these terrible charges," according to a statement from his publicist, Allen Mayer. "But he never dreamed it would take six and a half years. This has been a terrible ordeal for him and his family and at this point all he wants to do is move forward and put it behind him."

The prosecution's star witness was a woman who said she engaged in three-way sex with Kelly and the alleged victim. Defense attorneys argued the man on the tape didn't have a large mole on his back; Kelly has such a mole.

The monthlong trial centered on whether Kelly was the man who appears on a sexually graphic, 27-minute videotape at the heart of the case, and whether a female who also appears on it was underage.

Over seven days presenting their case, prosecutors called 22 witnesses, including several childhood friends of the alleged victim and four of her relatives who identified her as the female on the video.

In just two days, Kelly's lawyers called 12 witnesses. They included three relatives of the alleged victim who testified they did not recognize her as the female on the tape.

Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Shauna Boliker said she believed the female on the tape was a victim, not a prostitute as the defense had contended.

"This shows the world how difficult this crime is to prosecute," she said. "It also takes the soul of the victim, the heart of the victim."

Kelly won a Grammy in 1997 for "I Believe I Can Fly," and is known for such raunchy hits as "Bump N' Grind," "Ignition," and for "Trapped in the Closet," a multipart saga about the sexual secrets of an ever-expanding cast of characters.

Of the 12 jurors, nine were men and three were women; eight were white and four were black. They included the wife of a Baptist preacher from Kelly's Chicago-area hometown, Olympia Fields, as well as a compliance officer for a Chicago investment firm and a man in his 60s who emigrated from then-Communist Romania nearly 40 years ago.

Despite his legal troubles, Kelly — who rose from poverty on Chicago's South Side to become a star singer, songwriter and producer — still retains a huge following, and his popularity has arguably grown in recent years.

The singer has released more than half a dozen albums, most of them selling over a million copies. He's also had a multitude of hits and gone on tours. Kelly has a new song, "Hair Braider," out now, and is due to release a new album in July.

Kelly, always meticulously dressed in a suit and tie, appeared tense at times during the trial, furrowing his brow. He seemed particularly ill at ease when prosecutors played the sex tape in open court after opening arguments.

In the video, entered into evidence as "People's Exhibit No. 1," a man has sex with a young female, who is naked for most of the recording. She is often blank-faced. The man speaks to her in a hushed voice, and she calls him "Daddy."

In one scene, alluded to in one count of the indictment, the man urinates on the female.

The issue of whether there was or wasn't a fingernail-sized mole on the man's lower was a subject of hours of testimony. A defense witness told jurors there was no mole on his back, proving it's not Kelly, who has such a mole. But a prosecution witness displayed freeze frames of the video where a dark spot seemed to appear as the man turns to take off his pants.

One surreal moment came when a defense expert played a segment of the tape he doctored showing two headless bodies engaging in sex. The defense said that backed their argument that Kelly's likeness could have been computer-generated.

Cross examination was often heated. Several witnesses cried on the stand.

The star prosecution witness, Lisa Van Allen, became teary eyed as she told jurors she engaged in several three-way sexual encounters with Kelly and the alleged victim, including once on a basketball court. Kelly videotaped the trysts, she said.

Van Allen also claimed Kelly used to carry a duffel bag stuffed full of his homemade sex tapes.

The defense called several witnesses in a bid to discredit Van Allen, accusing her of trying to extort money from Kelly. Under cross-examination, Van Allen admitted she once stole Kelly's $20,000 diamond-studded watch from a hotel.

50 Cent Responds to House Fire

50 Cent’s lawyer Brett Kimmel released a statement on the rapper’s behalf today, concerning the mysterious house fire early this morning.

Shaniqua Tompkins, the ex-girlfriend and baby’s mother of 50's 10-year-old son Marquise, says that before this morning’s house fire in Long Island — that resulted in six people, including 50's son, being sent to the hospital — someone had broken into the house.

In a statement, Kimmel said: "Any suggestion that Mr. Jackson had anything whatsoever to do with the fire at his home is outrageous and offensive.”

Tompkins angrily spoke to TMZ reporters after the fire today alleging that the rap star is obsessed with her and threatened to kill her...

“He’s obsessed!” she’s screamed, “If he can’t have me, he feel like nobody can, he’s obsessed!” Tompkins went on to say that 50 arranged for the house to be burned down, in a jealous attempt to kill her.

“He said he was going to have someone come kill me, and watch what he does. And this is what he did…and he has made no contact to even see how his son is doing! No contact. I’m very upset.”

According to the Associated Press, the fire was so intense the area’s Fire Chief, Larry Feld, said the ordeal was “suspicious.” The fire ironically occurred just days after a heated argument between 50 and Tompkins inside Tompkins’ lawyer’s office…over the house.

50 has been attempting to get Tompkins evicted out the house, even though Tompkins has claimed in court that the rapper bought the house for her. 50 has said that he finds it “inappropriate” that Tompkins has been living in the house with her new boyfriend and “several other people.”

Today, Tompkins told TMZ that one hour before the “suspicious” fire she heard an intruder in the home, at around 4 a.m. Tompkins’s lawyer said that she is currently “traumatized” by the event, and so are the kids, who were all treated for smoke inhalation. A firefighter was also hurt, and later treated for an eye injury.

50 Cent's Long Island Mansion Burns Down

raging fire that one fire official called "definitely suspicious" gutted a Dix Hills home owned by the Grammy-nominated rapper 50 Cent Friday morning, sending six people inside the house to the hospital.

An eyewitness told Newsday that among the injured, all of whom suffered smoke inhalation according to fire officials, were 50 Cent's ex-girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, and their 10-year-old son, Marquise.

"She was all right," eyewitness Frank Hoyte, a Newsday employee, said, adding: "But she was angry..."

He said Tompkins was standing outside the home barefoot as it burned, wearing a bathrobe. Two young boys, one of them Marquise, two teenage girls and "an older woman" were also standing with Tompkins, Hoyte said.

One of the first firefighters to arrive on the scene told Newsday the fire was suspicious. "I would say there is a strong -- a strong, strong -- possibility that it is suspicious," Dix Hills Fire Department Chief Larry Feld said.

Asked why he believed the fire was suspicious, Feld told Newsday: "The rapid movement of the fire. The volume of the fire . . . It was engulfed. The home was totally gutted."

The home at 2 Sandra Drive, purchased by the rapper in January 2007 for a reported $1.4 million, is one of the largest in Dix Hills -- and has been at the center of a lawsuit between 50 Cent and Tompkins. The 32-year-old rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, last month tried to evict Tompkins and their son from the home unless she paid him $4,500 a month in rent.

In turn, Tompkins filed a lawsuit against Jackson in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, claiming "breach of contract" and charging that the rapper had promised to put all or part of the house in her name.

Contacted early Friday, the attorney representing Tompkins, Paul Katsandonis, said he had not heard about the fire -- and would not confirm if Tompkins and her son still lived in the home or had moved.

"I can't comment right now," Katsandonis told Newsday.

An attorney for 50 Cent could not be reached for comment early on Friday.

The fire was reported at 5 a.m., according to Suffolk County Police and fire officials.

Firefighters from Dix Hills, Deer Park, Greenlawn, Commack and Melville responded to the blaze. The fire chief, Feld, told Newsday that all six people from inside the home were transported to Huntington Hospital by volunteers from the Commack and Huntington ambulance corps.

Police and fire officials also told Newsday that investigators from the Suffolk County Arson Squad and the Suffolk Fire Marshal's office are at the fire scene, investigating the cause of the blaze.

"The fire was huge, I mean huge," next-door neighbor Debra Lotz said. "I watched the whole fire from our pool . . . It burned down to the ground."

The fire caused officials to close down nearby Route 231 at Vanderbilt Parkway.

In April, Katsandonis told Newsday that Tompkins and her son had until May 1 to live in the house. He said that the rapper had said "if we give him one month's rent, he will allow them to stay until the end of the school year."

The home is located on one acre and has six bedrooms, five baths, a heated four-car garage and a pool. Last month, Katsandonis told Newsday that the rapper, who was shot outside his grandmother's Queens home in 2000, told Tompkins he wanted her and their son in a safe and secure location.
