for more all of this, let's bring in criminal defense attorney steven greenberg. let's start with the idea of him at this point refusing to come back in for more questioning. it seems. they said they are going to give him a reasonable amount of time after which they would do something else. what's a reasonable amount of time? after that, what do you think they do? >> a reasonable doubt of time is however long they want to give him. there is no defined time limits in this. he has already talked to the police. he has told them his story. all he can do now is one of two things. repeat the same story, or tell them a different story trade which it sounds like it would get him in deeper trouble. the old saying in our business -- he who doesn't talk more often walks. if i were giving him any advice i would say don't talk to the police at all. >> melissa: and what happens after that? if they decide they think he was behind this, as it sounds like from what we're hearing it's going in that direction. would you think they do at that point? >> at that point they have to make

greenberg also seems to not recognize what double jeopardy really is. none of the counts that have been alleged against mr. kelly involve double jeopardy. >> reporter: the battle in front of the cameras now in the courtroom. we do expect to see mr. greenberg, mr. avenatti and the assistant state's attorney in court as well as r. kelly. we should also mention as far as his money problems, we learned that he owes more than $160,000 in back child support as well. >> sara sidner for us, thank you so much. >>> pope francis calls for an all-out battle against priest sex abuse after a vatican summit. why many say they're not satisfied with this. that's next. liberty mutual accident forgiveness means they won't hike your rates over one mistake. see, liberty mutual doesn't hold grudges. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise their rates because of their first accident. switch and you could save $782 on home and auto insurance. call for a free quote today. liberty mutual insurance. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ >>> pope fr

we should also mention steve greenberg, well aware of what's happening here. we are hoping to hear something from him. all this time that r. kelly has been accused, over decades, over decades of time where there have been accusations about him having inappropriate sexual contact with young girls, with girls who were minors, he has always maintained his innocence. he's always said that he has done nothing wrong, nothing illegal, with young girls. he did an interview, for example, with black entertainment television, b.e. t., in 2008 and was asked do you like teenager girls. his response was, well, depends how old they are, and went on to say that, of course, these teenagers, a lot of them are his fans, and he has friendships with teenagers. but that he has done nothing illegal. he has maintained that he has not done anything illegal over the years. we've not heard anything from him or his attorney now. this just came forwards. all of this information is obviously going to be handed over to his attorney, and then we will see where we go from there. this is a maj
