FINANCIALLY-STRAPPED RAPE VICTIM STEPS DOWN FROM KELLY JURY

FINANCIALLY-STRAPPED RAPE VICTIM STEPS DOWN FROM KELLY JURY

A rape victim assigned to the jury in R. KELLY's child pornography trial has quit after just one day of work after learning her boss wouldn't pay her for the time she spent in court.
Juror 68 asked to be excused shortly after opening statements were made in the case in Chicago, Illinois.
She told the court and her fellow jurors that judging Kelly would leave her homeless - because a loss of earnings would cause her to fall short on mortgage payments.
The unnamed woman, who told Judge Vincent Gaughan she would be able to put her own sexual experience behind her and offer fair judgment in the Kelly trial last week (ends16May08), has been replaced.
