CHICAGO, IL - The first three jurors were chosen Thursday for R. Kelly's child pornography trial in Chicago. They include the wife of a Baptist preacher from Olympia Fields, where the R&B singer lives.
A business executive who called child pornography ``the lowest of the low'' during questioning by the judge and attorneys was also tapped, as well as a telecommunications company employee.
There are 150 potential jurors, and they're being questioned in small groups over several days. The process of selecting 16 jurors, including four alternates, is expected to take about a week.
