Defense claims that is not R. Kelly on the sex tape and the woman shown is not the niece of R&B singer Sparkle.

Niece of singer Sparkle also denies being the victim in the video.

Four key witnesses have identified her as the victim in the sex tape including her best friend at the time and Sparkle.

The loud bickering began when Genson asked if someone could have doctored the illicit video to make it appear as if Kelly were paying a young girl to perform various sex acts. Edwards, who wore cosmetic glitter under her left eye to provide her trademark “sparkle,” gave a snide smile.

“I know my family,” she said. “I know them. Trust me.”

“And so you know and believe your [relative] took money from Robert Kelly and then had sex with him, which is on that tape?” Genson asked. “That’s what you know?”

“Just like he made her do,” Edwards said, struggling to maintain her composure. “You see she’s a robot on that tape.”

Genson then tried to make Edwards acknowledge she didn’t know who made the tape.

“Robert made the tape,” she answered, her voice growing louder. “You can clearly see him setting it up, passing my [relative] some money, like she is a prostitute.”

Genson suggested Edwards hoped to profit from the tape because she spoke with a lawyer about it before talking to the police.

“Sweetie, I am not trying to get money from anybody,” Edwards said.

“I’m not your sweetie,” Genson snapped.

Cook County Circuit Judge Vincent Gaughan halted the testimony and ordered the two to calm down. Stunned jurors stole sideways glances with each other as a few tried to stifle laughter.

Kelly, who rarely looked at Edwards during her testimony, stared straight ahead with no expression on his face. (More Info)

I just want to see the reaction to the verdict at the end of this case because it's going to be historical AND hysterical!
