News: R Kelly Tape Will Be Viewed

The public will be allowed to view a videotape of R&B singer R. Kelly allegedly having sex with an underage girl, a judge ruled Thursday.

Cook County Circuit Judge Vincent Gaughan's ruling came in spite of an agreement between Kelly's attorneys and prosecutors to keep the public from seeing the tape, which will be played during Kelly's upcoming child pornography trial.

Robert Kelly, better known as R. Kelly to his fans, was surrounded by an entourage of lawyers as Gaughan announced his decision.

"The public are not some herd," the judge said. "These are the people who will stand up and say, 'This isn't fair.'"
