Pretrial Trials

So what's delayed the child-pornography trial of rapper R Kelly since his indictment six years ago? In case you were wondering, it's been, among other distractions, the more than 30 pretrial motions, the multiple fractures suffered by Judge Vincent Gaughan in a fall from a ladder at home, and Kelly’s emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix. Finally, the trial will begin tomorrow, in Chicago. (NY Times)
