R Kelly trial: Day Ten

An FBI expert testified today (May 29) in R Kelly.'s child pornography trial that the sex tape at the centre of the case appears to be authentic.

George Skaluba said that his analysis leads him to believe that the images were not computer generated or altered.

The defence has argued that Kelly is not the man in the video and has suggested the R&B star's likeness could have been computer generated.

However, the FBI expert told jurors that the video appears to depict "real people in a real environment," reports the Associated Press.

Earlier in the day, prosecutors told the judge they needed more time to interview the potential 'mystery' defence witness before he can testify.

Kelly faces child pornography charges for allegedly videotaping himself having sex with a minor some time between 1998 and 2000.

If Kelly is found guilty of the charges, he could face up to 15 years in prison.

The Grammy-winning artist is due to release a new album in July.

If the name of this Hoboken, NJ circle sounds in a flash familiar, the resemblance is entirely intentional. Skanatra, an energetic 11-member ska banding, came unitedly for one primary purpose, to do ska-styled renditions of Frank Sinatra classics and thereby pay court to the Chairman of the Board in their have unimitable fashion. Members of Skanatra have backgrounds as various as their musical construct is unique. There's lead singer Chairman Sunbeam, world Health Organization tended bar at the local Hoboken saloon, O'Niel's, and Senior Toastmaster Willie. These deuce Jersey allies began putting the band together on what just very well crataegus oxycantha have been a beer induced caprice. In fact, O'Niel's is where the completed ring played the low of many performances and where bassist Bass D. String allegedly came up with the band's sobriquet. Bass D. String, as well a Hoboken native, had been the musical director of the city's Salvation Army Band before joining Skanatra. Florida native Swiggin' Higgin' as well sign up as did Hungarian Count De Money, a erstwhile employee at at local blood bank. Skanatra began to have good form when forklift operator/percussionist Case O'Stengel,'white hot' guitarist Fat Hand and organist Ray Bahn came aboard. The missing piece, that of securing the essential horn section, came most during the band's early rehearsals when trey janitors were spotty and pegged to become The Got the Tape on Tuesday Horns. The rest, as they say, is history. Skanatra's self-titled debut of Frank Sinatra cover songs was released on P.O.S. records in the spring of 1999.
