Jim DeRogatis won't have to testify in R. Kelly's trial after all, Judge Gaughan ruled today after DeRo was questioned at a hearing this morning.

Jim DeRogatis didn't show up for court today as Judge Gaughan had ordered, and according to a Trib source, it's because he never officially received a subpoena. Gaughan is threatening to issue a warrant for DeRo's arrest, even though Sun-Times lawyer Damon Dunn says not only did Dero never get a subpoena, but he's appealing the one he's supposed to get anyway.
