R. Kelly trial juror excused by judge after suffering a panic attack in court

No Comments

A trial juror in RnB star, R.Kelly’s case in Chicago suffered a panic attack during a break in proceedings, and was excused by the Judge.

TMZ reported that during the trial on Monday September 12, the white female juror started having a panic attack after the prosecution gave their closing argument.

The judge said he was told the juror “couldn’t last another minute” and he excused her, according to reporter Jon Seidel.

The judge says a white male alternate juror is now stepping in, and like the juror he’s replacing, this guy has also not seen the “Surviving R. Kelly” documentary.

As the trial comes to an end, the defense team is now giving their closing arguments, after the prosecution ripped Kelly to begin the day, labeling him a sexual predator who used his celebrity status to abuse minors.

Kelly, who was already sentenced to 30 years in federal prison following a June conviction in New York, is expected to learn his fate soon depending on how long it takes the jury to reach a verdict.

Rapper YNW Melly denied emergency pass for an abscessed tooth under grill Rapper YNW Melly has been denied an emergency pass for an abscessed tooth under grill.

The “Murder on my Mind” rapper who is currently being held at Broward County jail and awaiting trial for double murder, had claimed he has a serious toothache that requires a dental visit.

Documents obtained by TMZ revealed that Melly wasn’t able to convince the judge, who rejected his motion on August 30.

Melly’s full set of diamond dental crowns require constant upkeep, but he claims he wasn’t allowed to possess a simple toothbrush, dental floss or get regular dental visits while locked up.

As a result, he says he developed a painful abscess in his lower jaw that is the source of his chronic infection.

He also pointed out that his private insurance and lawyer even argued they were willing to foot the cost of the treatments; which would include his own transportation and independent security, but the judge still struck out the application.
