You wanted the best, you got... Out of Context Quote of the Week.
"This coming from the man with the YOU EAT COCK in his signature." (StaggerLee)
Prosecutors in Tampa have dropped all child porn charges (cnn.com) against R. Kelly. He still faces charges in Chicago, but after the photos were suppressed as evidence, Tampa had to drop their charges. They were suppressed because they popped up while cops were searching his place on suspected drug charges.

I don't see how this makes him any more lucky then O.J. or any other supposed criminal but the guys lucky that his audience didn't give a damn about his legal troubles. On top of this he is coming out with his second or third album since the whole tape incident and is as popular as he ever was in the past.
So, let me get this straight, the cops werent LOOKING for the photos, and found them. The judge calls them inadmissable because the cops weren't there to look for them.
So, cops look in my house, for drugs, and find a dead body, I am okay? Since they arent there looking for dead bodies?
Smells like bullshit to me!

This is the part I really dont get:
Originally posted by CNN.comKelly's attorneys said the affidavit Mateo submitted in seeking the warrant wasn't adequate because it was based on unspecified information from Chicago authorities and no link was established between the discovery of marijuana and the presence of cameras and child pornography.
So they showed up looking for drugs with a search warrant giving them permission to look for drugs. While they were poking around for drugs they found some other stuff that gave them the impression there might be some other illegal activity going on. So they went back to the judge to obtain a search warrant giving them permission to specifically look for said illegal activity, went back to Kelly's house to look for the specific illegal activity that their search warant gave them permission to look for and FOUND EVIDENCE OF SAID SPECIFIC ILLEGAL ACTIVITY! Why would they need to provide a link between the drugs and the kiddie porn??
Sorry if I got a little redundant there, this just doesnt make any sense to me.
R. Kelly is a phenomenon to me. How he can be brought up for so many sex related charges and still produce sexually explicit music and be so successful is crazy . . . or really smart. Maybe both.
Anyway, RK used to be the man back in the day. Put one of his albums on, turn the lights down low and basically do whatever he's describing in the song. (remembering) Those were the days.

What they found were pictures, that were still on a digital camera. How would looking through the pictures on a camera pertain to a drug investigation?

It doesnt. Thats why the police went back for a 2nd search warrant for child porn. Remember that part in the article?

During an initial search for drugs, detective Robert Mateo said he observed video cameras and an "unusual" amount of adult pornography in a cabinet in a room marked "Private." The detective then sought a second search warrant to look for child pornography.
The next day, Mateo was granted the warrant by Polk Circuit Court Judge Mary Catherine Green. Mateo returned to Kelly's home and wrote in a report that he examined one of the video cameras and scanned the images, finding several pictures of two women performing sex acts and other photos of Kelly in a sex act.
