in his federal racketeering and sex-trafficking trial. The singer’s defense was then set to begin in the Brooklyn courtroom where a jury has, for five weeks, heard witnesses accuse the singer of more than two decades of sexual abuse. The defense’s case would mark a new phase in the proceedings and answer a lingering question.
Kelly is on trial for nine charges related to racketeering and sex trafficking, and has pleaded not guilty to all of them. He faces between 10 years in prison and a life sentence if convicted on all counts. The prosecution’s case aims to position Kelly as the leader of a criminal enterprise of his employees that powered his alleged abuse.
Like Ramnanan, Hood, a childhood friend of Kelly’s and former Chicago police officer who worked as a security guard for the singer, said he saw no wrongdoing from Kelly. He went so far as to say he’d never seen Kelly around underage girls, only to testify shortly afterward that he was with Kelly and Aaliyah, whom Kelly married when she was 15, the first time they met.
