The plot thickens in the R. Kelly trial, after a “mystery witness” was flown into Chicago yesterday to testify in the fallen R&B star’s defense.
Damon Pryor— dressed casually in a blood red Phillies cap, and tri-color hoodie — came to the courthouse around 11 a.m. this morning to testify for Kelly’s defense team in a trial that looks more and more depressing for the self-proclaimed “Sexasaurus.”
Kelly’s defense team told Judge Vincent Gaughan they had no idea who Pryor was until he called them on Wednesday morning. Judge Gaughan halted the trial yesterday to give Pryor time to fly in for testimony.
Though Pryor might just be the ace the defense team needs up its sleeve to get Kelly into clearer waters, prosecution clapped back with their own potential star witness who’s yet to take the stand: a woman who claims she had a threesome with Kelly and the alleged underage victim.
The female witness was expected to testify earlier today, causing people to show up early and pack the courthouse, the Chicago Tribune reports. But instead, a former head of the sex crimes unit for the Cook County state's attorney's office, testified about the proper procedure in sex crimes.

first i blame that little tramp and the tramp's parent,then i blame that piece of crap r.kelly. a grown ass man with alittle girl. i hope the jury see through his disgusting lies and nail that child molesting perverted pig.evryone that knows r.kelly knows that he's into little girls but dont want to admit it.i also blame his supporters who dont oviously are what he does to little girls. r.kelly had it all:money,power,fame,talent and tour with fans all over the world.he even had a wife. he could have easily banged any hoe on the road that enters his tour bus with no draws on wanting him and these hoes are fine,i've seen them while on tours. but no he has to get it on with a little girl and not a grown fine woman. i hope that the judge and jury show him no mercy and sentence that perverted punk to a long prison term in one of the worse prison and let the inmates show him how it's done.i have absolutely no tolerance,patience,or respect from grown ass people with excess money,power,fame,fans or talent even those without those things to have a grown ass man thrust his penis in a little girl's mouth and then pisses in it,if it were my daughter,the world would mourn the loss of a very talented singer. big mike from the bronx.
