R Kelly Trial: Van Allen Revisited


It looks like the prosecution team has produced yet another witness the defense just flat-out doesn't like.

The state has indicated it will call Robert Wolf, an assistant district attorney from Atlanta, during its rebuttal Tuesday, despite defense lawyer Sam Adam, Sr.'s best efforts to keep him from the stand.

"There's nothing that the district of attorney of Atlanta, Georgia can offer that can rebut anything," Adam, Sr. argued in late housekeeping matters after the jury had been dismissed.

Not from prosecutors' perspective.

"There was a strong inference made that there was some deal between Lisa Van Allen and the state," assistant state's attorney Shauna Boliker said. "There was no deal."

Van Allen reached out to prosecutors this March, just a month after a police raid on her fiance's home turned up a loaded AK-47 and drugs. Even though that fiance is a felon, a judge just gave him probation- a gift the defense implies came courtesy of the Fulton County district attorney's office.

Team Kelly calls Wolf's testimony irrelevant.

"What was in her mind at the time she contacted the state's attorney's office?" Adam, Sr. rhetorically asked the court. "The issue is the credibility and reliability of Miss Lisa Van Allen."

It will soon be up to the jury to decide both.

Do you think Wolf's testimony will tip the jurors to the side of the state?
