"Just because they found him not guilty doesn't mean he's innocent." -Admiral William Adama, Battlestar Galatica
R. Kelly Acquitted of Child Porn Charges - NPR
So on Friday, a jury in Cook County found Robert Kelly (better known as singer/producer R. Kelly) not guilty of having sex with an underage girl (possibly as young as 13) and videotaping the act.
Humph. I have to say that I don't believe that he's not guilty, and I am amazed at some people's characterization of him as having dealt with an ordeal these last six years that he managed to avoid both trial and prison. This is the man who calls himself the "Pied Piper of R&B." If he's innocent, would he like to explain just what all that is about? I mean, this man seemed to almost capitalize on this - remember "Guilty Until Proven Innocent?" the song he did with Jay-Z?
"You can't touch me, no you can't touch me/Jigga, Kelly, not guilty/Try to charge me but I'm not guilty/I got, all, my mamis/I've got all of my mamis/Tell me, what you, want from me/Tell me.. (I am the one)/What you want from me? Not guilty."
Okay. Whatever. Don't think we've forgotten about Aaliyah. 
There is precedent for this. Like Adama said: Just because he's "not guilty" doesn't mean he's innocent.

Kelly goes to trial. Some of the stuff on the Boondocks might make you mad, but you'll be laughing at the same time...***
