One of Kelly's lawyers, Nicole Blank Becker, objected that discussing before the jury some aspects of the marriage episode may be "more prejudicial than probative," the standard for whether to admit evidence at trial. The judge said she would follow established rules about what is admissible.
"Obviously, with all of these things I'm not going to permit hearsay," she said.
The issue of the marriage is among a dozen allegations and potential witnesses that prosecutors sought Tuesday to bring up at Kelly's trial, scheduled to start jury selection on Monday in the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn.
