(Newser) – R. Kelly is back in Chicago but it's not exactly a triumphant homecoming for the R&B star. Kelly, who was sentenced to 30 years in prison in a federal sex abuse case in June, is back in his hometown for another federal trial that could add decades to his sentence. Jury selection began Monday, and the judge refused a motion from Kelly's defense team to exclude anybody who had seen the 2019 documentary Surviving R. Kelly, which detailed the sexual abuse allegations against him. Prosecutors say evidence will be presented from a 23-year period, 1991 to 2014.
