Two new state witnesses in the R. Kelly child pornography case are expected to corroborate prosecutors' claims about the identity of the girl who allegedly was videotaped having sex with the singer.
Cook County Circuit Judge Vincent Gaughan allowed prosecutors to add the two to their list of witnesses in advance of the May 9 trial. The new witnesses likely will bolster the prosecution's case, which has been challenged by the fact that the girl who allegedly was videotaped having sex with the R&B star has denied being in the video. In January, the judge rebuffed a bid by prosecutors to allow an expert to testify about the girl's denial.
Prosecutors have said the girl may have been as young as 13 at the time.Sources report that both witnesses knew Kelly and the girl around the time the video was made. One witness has worked for Kelly. The second witness was allegedly a friend of the girl.The identities of all witnesses are kept secret, according to the judge's order. Both parties also are under a gag order.

Both sides will be back in court April 1 to discuss jury instructions.
The fact that he has avoided jail is outrageous to me. I hope justice eventually prevails.
