A lot of people are outraged following the latest reports. It seems that R. Kelly’s attorney compared him to Martin Luther King Jr. Check out the available details below.
His trial nears its end, an attorney for the singer said R. Kelly was just like civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ‘Defense attorney Deveraux Cannick told jurors Kelly is demanding prosecutors prove he’s guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in the same way Dr. King fought for Constitutional rights, @nypost reports,’ TSR writes.
TSR also said that ‘Cannick quoted King’s “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech, telling jurors Dr. King protested in streets across America because the government at the time was not being fair and true to all citizens. Somewhere, I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly.
One other follower said: ‘Dr. King marched. R. Kelly ran trains and thangs… they are not the same.’
Gone mess around get 20 extra years for lying in them jurors face,’ and a followewr said: ‘In closing, I want to say Kellz ya boyfriend had a dream just ass dr king did to bring together white women & black women so they can sing Feeling on yo Booty from the mountain top.’
