R. Kelly Trial Update - Mystery Witness Holds Up Proceedings

Prosecutors at R. Kelly's child pornography trial say they need more time to interview a potential defense witness before he can testify.

The man called Kelly's attorneys Wednesday and told them he had information that could impeach the testimony of a prosecution witness.

The defense told the judge as the trial resumed this morning that they've now interviewed the man, who arrived in Chicago on Wednesday.

Prosecutors also complained that the potential witness refused to give them his Social Security number. Judge Vincent Gaughan says the man must give that information or he'll be in "major trouble" with the court.

In testimony Thursday, a former sex crimes investigator said he sent the sex tape at the center of the case to a forensics expert. That expert is expected to testify later.

An FBI forensic expert has testified that the male and female in a sex tape at the heart of the R. Kelly child pornography trial weren't computer generated or altered.

George Skaluba (SKUH'-loo-buh) told jurors that the video appears to depict "real people in a real environment."

The defense says the R&B star is not the man in the video and has repeatedly suggested that his likeness could have been computer generated onto the 27-minute tape.

Skaluba also told jurors that even if someone wanted to create digital images, it would be costly and time consuming.
