Deliberation, discussion and decision-making: all major factors involved in writing about a legal case that hasn’t yet been decided either way.
Strangely enough, these things are also associated with the jury in the R Kelly child pornography trial.
Would you believe it? Of course, this brings up a wonderful revelation – it shouldn’t be too long before hecklerspray can refer to R Kelly in whatever terms we see fit, with the full backing of the law on our side.
Yes: the jury have heard the prosecution, the defence, rebuttals, witnesses and counter-cross-ultra-examinations, and they’ve run off to that room probably occupied by Twelve Angry Men to decide once and for all what the media are allowed to refer to R Kelly as.
And probably, more importantly, if the man is to serve jail time or if he is cleared of the charges held against him.
The future looks bright.
