Potential jurors in the R Kelly kiddie porn trial should prepare for some uncomfortable questions today, as the first round of jury selection begins.

They'll likely be prodded about their views on pornography, and whether they've been or if they know victims of a sex crime.

Judge Vincent Gaughan hopes to get through the 150 possibles at a rate of 20 per day until 12 are seated and four are picked as alternates.

Simply put, this may take awhile........as has seemingly every aspect of the six-year old case.

Experts say prosecutors are looking for "law and order" types, those who believe in the rules and that everyone should follow them. As for the defense, they may be seeking a diverse bunch, folks of various personalities who can't agree enough to render a guilty verdict.

During this part of the proceedings, Judge Gaughan is keeping the media as minimal a presence as possible. Two pool reporters are allowed to observe- one local, one national. Yours truly will be alternating with others, sharing notes and observations.
