History Recap / TheBoondocksS1E2TheTrialOfRKelly

* AmoralAttorney: R. Kelly's defense attorney.

* ChewbaccaDefense / InsaneTrollLogic: Kelly's attorney uses a defense strategy that's hardly relevant to the actual subject matter of the trial, such as claiming that illegal sexual contact with a minor is somehow still acceptable for modern society, or chastising the prosecutor for not being married to a woman of the same race as him.[[note]]The defending attorney is white, making this even weirder.[[/note]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Huey gives one to the entire courtroom.

* DownerEnding: Huey's big speech changes nothing. R. Kelly is acquitted despite overwhelming evidence for his guilt, and his fans celebrate. Hueys says in the ending narration: "I did battle with ignorance today... and ignorance won."

* ScrewTheRulesImFamous: Despite the huge amount of evidence against R. Kelly, he was still acquitted. Didn't help that he jury consisted of some of his fans.
* SpecialGuest: Creator/AdamWest as the defense attorney who represents R. Kelly.

* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: Kelly's lawyer points out that Tom Dubois has a white wife named Sarah (with whom they have a mixed daughter named Jazmine), which he claims must make him a hater of black women. This earns the Dubois family the scorn of the all-black jury.

* TallPoppySyndrome: A female R. Kelly supporter derided the anti-Kelly protesters, who are prominent black intellectuals, as "uppity niggas" for having the temerity for not supporting a singer accused of urinating on a 14-year-old girl, and because they were stressing the importance of reading.

** Uncle Ruckus claims to have served on a mostly white jury, where he convicted a blind black man of shooting three white women. (Though if this story was true, then how did the black Ruckus get around the segregation? Even if he does hate other black people, he still probably would've been barred from jury duty due to race.)

* AnAesop: The bad actions of some people just can't be excused or ignored.

-->What the hell is wrong with you people? Every famous nigga that gets arrested is not Nelson Mandela! Yes, the government conspires to put a lot of innocent black men in jail on fallacious charges. But R. Kelly is not one of those men! We all know the nigga can sing! But, what happened to standards? What happen to bare minimums? You a fan of R. Kelly? You want to help R. Kelly? Then get some counseling for R. Kelly, introduce him to some older women, hide his camcorder! But, don't pretend like the man is a hero!
