The closure delayed proceedings in several ongoing trials at the building, including that of disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly and two former associates on charges related to child pornography and obstruction of justice.
The Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in downtown Chicago will reopen Wednesday after “system failures” prompted a one-day closure of the 60-year-old building, delaying the high-profile trial of singer R. Kelly.
The building closure, coupled with the long holiday weekend, means Kelly’s trial will almost certainly go into a fifth week. Defense attorneys have yet to call several expected witnesses, including co-defendant Derrel McDavid, who was slated to begin testifying on his own behalf Tuesday.
