Reactions to the R. Kelly verdict from Chicagoans who have been following the stories.
It took just under two days for a jury of seven men and five women to declare R&B singer R. Kelly guilty on all the charges he was facing in a federal courtroom in Brooklyn. Fifty-four-year-old Robert Sylvester Kelly faced racketeering and sex trafficking charges — 13 years after being acquitted of child pornography charges here in Cook County, where further charges await him.
