With preliminary court hearings set to begin May 9 in R. Kelly's pornography trial, the media clearly believes there's a better-than-average chance the R&B legend will represent himself in song. And they'll be damned if a gag order is going to keep them from watching the trial of the century turn into a category five quiet storm. The judge in the case has already held several closed-door hearings, but the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, and the AP are asking him to open up transcripts of closed pretrial hearings and asking him to lift a gag order on attorneys. R. Kelly's gonna be pissed. [AP via Breitbart]
