“It’s February 21, 2007. Bitter cold Chicago. A champagne-colored GMC SUV pulls up outside the newly remodeled Cook County Criminal Courts Building on the Southwest Side.” And so the story begins in Sun-Times reporter Abdon Pallasch’s gripping account of the ups, downs and delays of R&B crooner R. Kelly’s child pornography case, to be featured on the cover of the May issue of Vibe magazine.
