Lawyer attempts to give R. Kelly a demo- during the trial!

I don't know if the rest of the country has been treated to extensive coverage of the R. Kelly trial like we have- but it makes "Trapped in the Closet" look logical and concise.

Friday, a lawyer took advantage of a break in the action to give Kelly a copy of his CD:

"A lawyer was booted from the Cook County Criminal Courts Building today after attempting to foist his own music CD on R. Kelly in the courtroom where his trial is taking place.

Attorney Mike Roman approached Kelly on Friday morning while the singer was sitting alone at the defense table. With his lawyers and the prosecutors meeting privately in the judge's chambers, the R&B superstar was left to fend off the man's overture.

Roman--a local criminal-defense lawyer who fronts the Latin rock band, Mike Roman and the Tellstars, in his spare time--offered Kelly a free copy of his CD "Cha Cha Time.""

I like this part too: "The judge later ordered officers to escort him from the building.

Roman cooperated with his removal--but not before trying to sell a "Cha Cha Time" CD to one of Kelly's defense attorneys for $15."

Please, I did not think you meant a RECORDING demo, I thought you meant a "demonstration" of the acts!

Still, you can't blame an artist for trying to get ahead, right?
