R. Kelly Case To Remain Sealed

2008_5_5.rkelly.jpg The Illinois Supreme Court denied a request today to unseal the court proceedings in R. Kelly's child pornography trial. The Trib, Sun-Times, AP and WBEZ had joined forces (media powers: activate!) to petition the court to overrule the lower court's ruling to keep the court records private.

In other R. Kelly news, prosecutors are facing a uphill battle, given that the girl (now 23) authorities identified as the victim on the tape denies that it's her. The trial starts Friday. [Trib, AP]
