CHICAGO -- The judge scheduled to preside over the pornography trial of R&B singer R. Kelly is out of commission for a while after taking a hard fall.
Authorities said Judge Vincent Gaughan was rushed to the hospital after falling from an 18-foot ladder while doing some repairs at his home in Chicago over the weekend.
Presiding Judge Paul Biebel Jr. said the 65-year-old will be out indefinitely as he recovers from the broken bones he suffered in the fall.
Gaughan is slated to hear the child pornography case against R. Kelly, but no trial date is set.
He's also scheduled to preside over the trial of two men accused in the 1993 massacre at a Brown's Chicken restaurant in Palatine.
The trial for one of those men, Juan Luna, is slated to begin on Sept. 12.
Is anyone begining to think that R. Kelly is The Man getting over on society? Its been how many years since those sex tapes surfaced? Four? If this was Chester from across the street or Mr. Larry the gym teacher, he would have been stood trial. Guilty or not, this mess is way out of hand.
