Chicago, Il — The defense teams in the R. Kelly federal trial at Dirksen U.S. Courthouse rested on Friday following three days of testimony from the disgraced singer’s former business manager and co-defendant.
On Derrel McDavid’s third day on the stand on Friday, he faced cross examination from the government as the trial rounded out its fourth week. The Cpa-turned-business-manager McDavid has insisted he wholly believed the disgraced singer’s claims that he never engaged in sexual acts with minors while they worked together from the early Nineties until 2014 throughout his testimony.

Kelly a tape taken from him by Kelly’s ex, and at least one Kelly supporter that has been seen regularly attending the trial being thrown out of proceedings after repeated warnings to maintain decorum.
