According to the AP:
A total of 34 prosecution and defense witnesses have testified in R. Kelly’s child pornography trial. As the case comes to a close, someone won’t be taking the stand: The man on trial himself.
Closing arguments were set to begin Thursday without jurors having heard from the R&B singer, who on Tuesday told the judge he doesn’t plan to testify.

Kelly, 41, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he videotaped himself having sex with an underage girl. Both Kelly and the alleged victim, now 23, have denied being on the tape. The alleged victim also never testified.
