R. Kelly Fan Who Yelled At Jury Released From Jail After 34 Days

An R. Kelly fan who yelled "Free R. Kelly!" at the jury druing the singer's  child pornography case was released from jail yesterday (June 25) after thirty four  days.
Debra Triplett, 48, was jailed on a contempt of court charge in May for screaming her support for Kelly at the jury as they stepped off a courthouse elevator.
Triplett remained in jail until Wednesday because she was unable to post the $5,000 cash bail imposed on her by the judge.
Upon her release, Triplett told The Chicago Tribune that she felt that Kelly should have paid her bail.
"For sure he should have stepped up," Triplett said. "R. Kelly, you should have stepped up!"
Kelly was acquitted on all 14 counts in his child pornography case by the aforementioned Chicago jury on June 13th.
