...left ear - similar to Kelly's - sits in a wood-paneled room that resembles a space that detectives photographed in the home Kelly once owned in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. Then, the man sticks his penis into the female's mouth and offers dialogue that seems taken straight from a porn movie. Jurors who'd taken meticulous notes throughout the day suddenly stopped. One twentysomething white juror put a hand across one of his ears. One middle-aged black woman lowered her head, obviously disgusted.
