"headTitle": "R. Kelly is Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>The disgraced R&B star R. Kelly was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years in prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was sentenced in New York by federal Judge Ann Donnelly, who spoke at length before issuing the sentence. At one point, she quoted a victim impact statement from a woman known in court as Stephanie, who told Kelly, “No price was too high for someone else to pay for your happiness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13903808']“This case is not about sex,” the judge said. “It is about violence, cruelty and control.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donnelly acknowledged points made by defense, including that Kelly endured a very difficult childhood, with sexual abuse at the hands of his sister and a landlord. However, she added, “You are a person who had great advantages—worldwide fame and celebrity, untold money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly declined to address the court himself. His lawyer cited pending cases: a second federal trial in Illinois, slated to begin Aug. 15, and separate criminal charges in Minnesota. The charges include child pornography and obstruction of justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Kelly’s conviction\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13903808/r-kelly-found-guilty-of-racketeering-and-sex-trafficking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last year, Kelly was found guilty\u003c/a> of charges including sexual exploitation of a child, racketeering, bribery and sex trafficking. The jury found the government proved Kelly was at the head of a criminal conspiracy to recruit and coerce girls, boys and women into sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the weekslong trial, multiple victims established a pattern where they would see Kelly at a show or out in public, and an associate of Kelly would hand them a phone number to call. From there they would be ensnared in a system of sexual and psychological abuse. Kelly forced his victims to perform sexual acts for his gratification (which he often filmed). He set up strict rules dictating where his victims were allowed to go and who they were allowed to speak to. And he forced to them to write letters or video tape themselves claiming they were doing everything of their own free will.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Accusers spoke about how he hurt them\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Before the judge announced Kelly’s sentence, seven women made their own statements to and about him and about the abuse they suffered. At no point did Kelly look at his accusers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13848980']A woman identified in court as Angela said, “We will be able to live again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said, “I am a representation of every woman, boy, child, man that you have ever afflicted with your deplorable, inexplicable acts, and with that I leave you with yourself, Robert Sylvester Kelly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another woman, known in court as Jane Doe 2, described enduring depression and stress related to Kelly’s abuse. She paused in her comments to demand his attention when Kelly whispered to his attorney. “I’m sorry,” she said. “I don’t want to interrupt his conversation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A man identified as Charles, the father of another woman, said in a resigned tone, “So many people love you and they hate us.” He noted that Kelly hadn’t expressed remorse. Charles urged Kelly to confess and to ask for God’s forgiveness.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Kelly’s defense lawyer promises an appeal\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“Obviously he’s devastated,” Kelly’s lawyer Jennifer Bonjean said outside the courthouse. “Thirty years in prison is like a life sentence for him, but at the same time we knew the government was asking for 25 years. We were prepared for what the judge might impose and we are now prepared to fight this appeal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Victims were heard\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>After the sentencing hearing, U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said the case meant the “voices of mostly Black and brown women and children … were heard and believed, and for [them,] justice was finally achieved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sentencing comes after \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/11/683936629/r-kelly-allegations-an-abridged-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">decades of allegations\u003c/a> against the multi-platinum singer.

"content": "\u003cp>Earlier this month, an image went viral suggesting the unthinkable had finally happened: AriZona Iced Tea had fallen victim to soaring inflation, and raised their long-held price for a 23oz can of tea from 99 cents to $1.29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not true—that’s just the price in Canadian dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, while the AriZona alarm bells may be disarmed this time around, inflation in the U.S. continues to put many people in an unprecedented budget crunch. And with supply chain issues stemming from the war in Ukraine, expensive labor and fuel, and material shortages, the questions remain: Why are some companies sticking with fixed-price items, and how much longer can they hold out?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why do the $1 deals stick around?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One key indicator to the sustainability of these deals is how steadily companies can maintain the volume and consistency of their customers walking through doors, ready to spend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Costco’s famous hotdog meal, so emblematic of the business that founder Jim Sinegal once threatened the company CEO, saying, “If you raise the [price of the] effing hot dog, I will kill you.” Since 1985, the wholesale membership club has offered a beef hotdog with a refillable 20oz soda for just $1.50.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13915545\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13915545\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/gettyimages-1241318012-1-fe63e9f8423b43701aef8b3777234ce22bf5f92a-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Customers wait in line to order below signage for the Costco Kirkland Signature $1.50 hot dog and soda combo.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Costco hot dog and soda combo is $1.50, and has stayed that way since 1985. \u003ccite>(PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>According to David Ortega, a food economist and associate professor at Michigan State University, this price is nowhere in line with inflation, and should actually cost around $4. But the store is still able to extract value from the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are loss leaders, meaning that they are priced below cost because these are the products that bring people into the store,” Ortega said. “They bring that family in to eat that hotdog meal, which is a bargain at $1.50. But they’re likely to pick up other products when they go into the store.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loss leaders are a popular strategy for companies that can afford them. Costco is well known for this, also offering a 3 pound rotisserie chicken for only $5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13914585']It’s a common move for fast food giants as well. McDonalds, Taco Bell and Wendy’s have all offered their own versions of dollar menus, selling items like burritos, burgers and sundaes for just a buck, with the aim to bring people in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortega said that AriZona was able to operate with a similar approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I see a lot of the retailers that sell that iced tea, and like having that product in their store, because it brings people in, it brings in the volume,” he said. “And they’re people that are going to pick up that bag of chips or another snack when they’re purchasing those products.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AriZona has other, less obvious factors they play with to keep their prices down. One example is using the price itself as a form of marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The 99 cents is part of the brand’s iconography,” explained Rabobank beverage analyst Bourcard Nesin. “It’s now core to the advertising of AriZona to the point that [they get] all the free press in this environment simply because they haven’t raised their price.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nesin also added that innovation can be a great tool for keeping costs low. If packaging, manufacturing, or transportation can be streamlined to be more affordable, that leaves more profit for the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13913985']In this sense, AriZona has struck a rare balance. Nesin said that advertising typically represented a large portion of the operational costs for any beverage company, and AriZona’s reputation allowed it a significant amount of wiggle room when faced with increased production costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While other brands are spending lots of money and spending lots of their margin to promote their products, Arizona just sits in the cooler of every convenience store in America, advertising 99 cents,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The future of fixed-price deals\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>So, is this a business model that will be able to sustain itself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortega said it mostly depended on the business. Factors like scale, diversity among products, and a financial cushion to fall back all have to be taken into consideration. Ultimately, for companies like AriZona or Costco that have the upper hand on these elements, Ortega doesn’t think there will be a price reckoning anytime soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nesin adds that when it comes to inflation, it is typically the small business owners and low-income consumers who have to make adjustments when faced with a higher cost of living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13915553\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13915553\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/GettyImages-119601971-800x725.jpg\" alt=\"A black and white image shows a restaurant named Hav-A-Pizza with customers standing outside next to a busy news stand.

Despite their popularity, many of these businesses had to raise their price by as much as 50 cents in November due to the increased cost of ingredients and labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not likely that we’ll see a resurgence of the dollar slice, either. As Nesin explains: “If your favorite product’s price is higher than you’re used to, chances are it’s never going to go back to where it was before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortega said that before this round of rising inflation, smaller businesses were able to stay afloat because of volume and semi-normal economic times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13913592']“But we’ve seen food prices at record levels that we haven’t seen in 40 years,” he said. “And it’s not just food prices, but everything that goes into the production of these products. So transportation is up, wages are up, the price of gas is also up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nesin said these price changes hit hardest for those who had less to begin with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Traditionally when consumer income is constrained, if people have less money to spend, it’s actually the lower income people that are forced to change their behavior,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He explained the link to a brand like AriZona, saying: “Lower-cost products are most affected. So a brand like AriZona, if they raise prices a little bit, it will have an outsized impact on demand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AriZona chairman and founder Don Vultaggio has remained adamant that he has no intention of changing the price anytime soon. But Nesin thinks that eventually, they too will have to conform to the eternal trend of upward inflation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But for now,” he said, “we get to enjoy a 99 cent, 23 ounce behemoth of a refreshment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2022 NPR.

And with supply chain issues stemming from the war in Ukraine, expensive labor and fuel, and material shortages, the questions remain: Why are some companies sticking with fixed-price items, and how much longer can they hold out?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why do the $1 deals stick around?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One key indicator to the sustainability of these deals is how steadily companies can maintain the volume and consistency of their customers walking through doors, ready to spend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Costco’s famous hotdog meal, so emblematic of the business that founder Jim Sinegal once threatened the company CEO, saying, “If you raise the [price of the] effing hot dog, I will kill you.” Since 1985, the wholesale membership club has offered a beef hotdog with a refillable 20oz soda for just $1.50.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13915545\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13915545\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/gettyimages-1241318012-1-fe63e9f8423b43701aef8b3777234ce22bf5f92a-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Customers wait in line to order below signage for the Costco Kirkland Signature $1.50 hot dog and soda combo.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Costco hot dog and soda combo is $1.50, and has stayed that way since 1985. \u003ccite>(PATRICK T.

One example is using the price itself as a form of marketing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The 99 cents is part of the brand’s iconography,” explained Rabobank beverage analyst Bourcard Nesin. “It’s now core to the advertising of AriZona to the point that [they get] all the free press in this environment simply because they haven’t raised their price.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nesin also added that innovation can be a great tool for keeping costs low.

Nesin said that advertising typically represented a large portion of the operational costs for any beverage company, and AriZona’s reputation allowed it a significant amount of wiggle room when faced with increased production costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While other brands are spending lots of money and spending lots of their margin to promote their products, Arizona just sits in the cooler of every convenience store in America, advertising 99 cents,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The future of fixed-price deals\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>So, is this a business model that will be able to sustain itself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortega said it mostly depended on the business. Factors like scale, diversity among products, and a financial cushion to fall back all have to be taken into consideration. Ultimately, for companies like AriZona or Costco that have the upper hand on these elements, Ortega doesn’t think there will be a price reckoning anytime soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nesin adds that when it comes to inflation, it is typically the small business owners and low-income consumers who have to make adjustments when faced with a higher cost of living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13915553\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13915553\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/GettyImages-119601971-800x725.jpg\" alt=\"A black and white image shows a restaurant named Hav-A-Pizza with customers standing outside next to a busy news stand.

As Nesin explains: “If your favorite product’s price is higher than you’re used to, chances are it’s never going to go back to where it was before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortega said that before this round of rising inflation, smaller businesses were able to stay afloat because of volume and semi-normal economic times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They will always have access to attorneys. Poor people will be left behind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She points to an already overwhelmed public defender system, which people can’t access until after their legal troubles have started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t get a lawyer, if I’m poor, until I’m actually charged with a crime in this country in most jurisdictions,” she said. “So I have to wait until that moment until I get charged.

Wade ultimately leads back to that courtroom and jury, where the task at hand becomes navigating perception. The burden of being “the perfect victim” is nothing new when it comes to cases of \u003ca href=\"https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-local-correspondents/the-weinstein-trial-and-the-myth-of-the-perfect-victim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">harassment\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.elle.com.au/culture/perfect-victim-sexual-assault-dangers-26952\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sexual assault\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://time.com/6183505/amber-heard-perfect-victim-myth-johnny-depp/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">domestic violence\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To be a perfect victim of sexual assault, human trafficking or intimate partner violence, you cannot also struggle with addiction, poverty or mental illness,” wrote Amanda Rodriguez, a former federal prosecutor and the executive director of Baltimore’s rape crisis center, TurnAround Inc, in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.baltimoresun.com/opinion/op-ed/bs-ed-op-0505-assault-victim-myth-20210504-yflhw5jh3zffddxbuwjqm664me-story.html\">2021 op-ed\u003c/a> for the \u003cem>Baltimore Sun\u003c/em>. “To be a perfect victim, you cannot accept a drink, engage in commercial sex or walk alone at night. You cannot wear tight clothes or have a criminal record. You cannot be human.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except with a criminalized abortion, the “victim” isn’t pressing charges. They’re fighting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the end of the day, it’s going to be the bias going into the courtroom,” Wayne said. “The bias dealing with the district attorney who has preconceived notions of their own about how these cases should be prosecuted, the judges who oversee these cases and how they feel—and then ultimately go to the jurors’ bias.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s a main focus of NACDL’s training at the moment: preparing to help clients who have been charged with abortion-related crimes look sympathetic and relatable to a group of their peers (wherein the degree of difficulty varies, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2014/12/27/372916940/getting-tried-by-a-jury-of-your-peers-isn-t-as-simple-as-it-sounds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">depending on your race\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in some cases, that might not be enough.

The Supreme Court has just granted state lawmakers the freedom to ban abortion however they want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when a jury is asked to determine whether someone broke a law post-Roe, even a “perfect victim” might still be a guilty one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2022 NPR.

When he came out in ninth grade, Green’s mom was less than thrilled. Now, she is open and candid about her family’s journey. After all, says Claudette Green, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=204550149\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it started for her at home in Jamaica\u003c/a>, where she grew up hearing homophobic messages in church, on the news and in popular music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were songs that glorified killing LGBTQ members,” she recalls. “There were actually laws on the books in Jamaica that you could go to jail if you were a member of the LGBTQ community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Devin Green persuaded his mom to go to therapy, she was talked into attending a PFLAG meeting. “It was difficult for me because when I got there, I met families who were more accepting of their children and so I felt like a terrible parent,” she says. But Green was the opposite of a terrible parent. She and her kid talked. And most importantly, she listened. “Devin was an excellent teacher and I was a very good student,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when the head of the local PFLAG chapter invited her out for coffee, she went. “She met me where I was,” Green says. “Going to PFLAG and seeing the love, it helped me dismantle some of the things I believed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five years later, Green proudly marches in Pride parades. She’s changed her nursing career to focus on helping LGBTQ youth and she and her husband have supported other Caribbean families adjusting to LGBTQ kids.

After all, says Claudette Green, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=204550149\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it started for her at home in Jamaica\u003c/a>, where she grew up hearing homophobic messages in church, on the news and in popular music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were songs that glorified killing LGBTQ members,” she recalls. “There were actually laws on the books in Jamaica that you could go to jail if you were a member of the LGBTQ community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Devin Green persuaded his mom to go to therapy, she was talked into attending a PFLAG meeting. “It was difficult for me because when I got there, I met families who were more accepting of their children and so I felt like a terrible parent,” she says. But Green was the opposite of a terrible parent. She and her kid talked. And most importantly, she listened. “Devin was an excellent teacher and I was a very good student,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when the head of the local PFLAG chapter invited her out for coffee, she went. “She met me where I was,” Green says. “Going to PFLAG and seeing the love, it helped me dismantle some of the things I believed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five years later, Green proudly marches in Pride parades. She’s changed her nursing career to focus on helping LGBTQ youth and she and her husband have supported other Caribbean families adjusting to LGBTQ kids. They’ve moved to a more affirming church and Green has just accepted a position on PFLAG’s Charlotte board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13915155\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13915155\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/06/pflag-san-gabriel-valley-api-chapter_photo-credit-to-chapter-056a9bb43f4540f57cf1c97a47441c2b9a8ac7e0-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"A group of smiling and waving people in matching blue t-shirts lead a celebratory march through sunny streets.
