Targeting Jim DeRogatis—literally

kelly upside down

A filing from the Sun-Times opposing a motion for its reporter, Jim DeRogatis, to testify in the R. Kelly sex-tape case contains a tidbit that has not yet been mentioned in connection with the case, the Daily Swarm is reporting:

The subpoenas evidence a pernicious patterns of intimidation and harassment. Respondents newspaper has been threatened with legal action. Immediately after respondent published his news report, a slug was fired through the front door of respondent’s home. Now, to further inhibit adverse reporting, Defendant coupled spurious subpoenas with baseless accusations of criminality solely to induce respondent to invoke the Fifth Amendment.

You’ll recall that the other battle going on at the R. Kelly trial is about a witness, who has still not yet testified, who it has been reported will say that she had had group sex with Kelly and the under-aged girl at the center of the case. Also, she supposedly had a videotape of that encounter, which Kelly or his associates are supposed to have pressured her to destroy.

Both instances are potential evidence of the Kelly camp’s awareness of his vulnerability on the sex charges.

    I’m a big of Dero, and I hadn’t heard about the “slug through the door” before. Scary stuff.
