At R. Kelly's trial, jurors will be the only members of the public allowed in the courtroom
CNN
As Covid-19 cases surge fueled by the Delta variant, hundreds of jurors are expected to appear in Brooklyn federal court Monday, as jury selection for singer R. Kelly's trial begins.
Twelve jurors and six alternates will be selected, and those chosen will be the only members of the public with an in-person view of the criminal trial for Kelly, who faces racketeering and sex trafficking charges and could face decades in prison. Kelly has denied the charges. In an unusual move for a trial of this magnitude, the public and media will be unable to watch in person.More Related News
