Like it or not—and barring appeals—Chicago Sun-Times pop music critic Jim DeRogatis will likely be forced to testify in the R. Kelly case. Apparently, when you turn over a tape of apparent child pornography to police, the person accused of creating said video might have a few questions for you. Strange, but true. DeRogatis and his Sun-Times lawyers have made the contention that DeRogatis' testimony would add nothing to Kelly's defense, but Judge Gaughan declared that DeRogatis would not be compelled to share his source as part of the testimony. In other news, a lawyer with a rock band approached Kelly during a break in the action—because he wanted to give Kells a demo tape. When you think it can't get stranger, this trial delivers on something even better. [Chicago Sun-Times]
