Drawing Conclusion: Judge at R.Kelly Trial Boots 'Chi Tribune' Sketch Artist

Posted
By: The judge in R&B singer R. Kelly's child pornography trial has ejected a newspaper's sketch artist from the courtroom.

Judge Vincent Gaughan says the artist for the Chicago Tribune violated the strict code of conduct he's established for the courtroom by creating images of jurors for publication.

He withdrew the artist's media credentials for the rest of the trial.

Gaughan has long curtailed media access to the case's documents and proceedings.

Kelly has pleaded not-guilty to charges he videotaped himself having sex with an underaged girl.
