Thanks JerseyGirl, you're a star. I've read some of the report but will finish later.
Yuk.
He was found guilty of all counts and will be sentenced in May. He's looking at 10 years to life.

I agree. That kind of surprised me. Hoping he gets something closer to life, if not life in prison.10 years seems mild in comparison to the crimes.

I did a double-take on that too. I initially thought it was an error in reporting. But since then, I saw some speculation that it was to allow time for his other trials, and this Chicago Sun Times article seems to suggest that could be the case. Kelly's lawyers apparently want to wait until after he's been sentenced in New York before moving forward with those cases, but they acknowledge that the prosecution probably wants the exact opposite.Sentenced in May? Why so long? Anyway, #karma.
