Statements made during the nearly monthlong R. Kelly child pornography trial: ___ "People's Exhibit No. 1." — The prosecution formally entering their first piece of evidence: the VHS sex tape. ___ "You will see the sex acts he commands her to do. Acts you have never seen before." — Prosecutor Shauna Boliker in her opening statements, just before the prosecution played the 27-minute tape in open court. ___ "You know what they have to connect Mr. Kelly to this tape? Nothing." — Defense attorney Sam Adam Jr. in his opening statement. ___ "Either Robert isn't the man on that tape or he's a magician — because there's no mole." — Sam Adam Jr. introducing the idea that while the man in the tape does not appear to have a mole on his back, Kelly does. ___ "There is a mark on the man's back in the exact same position." — Prosecution witness Grant Fredericks displaying freeze-frames of the tape and saying the man in the video has what appears to be a mole at the same spot as Kelly's. ___ "He carried it everywhere with him. Wherever he was at, the bag would follow him." — Prosecution witness Lisa Van Allen, who said Kelly used to carry a duffel bag full of sex tapes he made. ___ "Sweetie, I'm not trying to get money out of this." — Prosecution witness Stephanie "Sparkle" Edwards responding to defense attorney Ed Genson's accusation that she was trying to extort Kelly. ___ "I'm not your sweetie!" — A visibly angry Genson's retort. ___ "You know your blood ... you just know your family." — Edwards saying she immediately recognized the alleged victim, who is her relative, on the sex tape. ___ "It definitely wasn't her." — Defense witness Shonna Edwards, also a relative of the alleged victim.
