Chicago’s federal courthouse will be closed Tuesday because of an “operational issue,” meaning the trial of R&B superstar R. Kelly will be delayed by at least one day.
Previously, the courthouse was shut down Aug. 10, 2020, following rioting and looting in downtown Chicago. Officials explained in that instance the building would be closed "due to police activity in the downtown area, street closures and public transportation disruptions."
Kelly’s trial, which is nearing its end, was expected to resume Tuesday after a four-day break. Defense attorneys were expected to call additional witnesses, including former Chicago Sun-Times music critic Jim DeRogatis.
