The jury in the R. Kelly child pornography case reached its verdict after less than a day of deliberations.
Kelly was charged with 14 counts of videotaping himself having sex with an underage girl, who prosecutors say was as young as 13.
The jurors — nine men and three women — were given the case Thursday afternoon after attorneys for both sides completed their closing arguments.
A key question for the jurors was whether they believe it was Kelly in the video as prosecutors contend or if they agree with Kelly's attorneys that he isn't the man in the video.
