*Lawyers for two newspapers and The Associated Press filed an emergency motion Monday in the Illinois Supreme Court seeking sealed court records and transcripts related to R. Kelly's pornography case.
Judge Vincent Gaughan has said he's trying to protect Kelly's rights and prevent information from influencing prospective jurors.
However, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times and the AP want the Supreme Court to order the Cook County Circuit Court to unseal the records immediately.
Kelly, 41, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he videotaped himself having sex with an underage girl. His trial is scheduled to start in Chicago May 9.
