One of the jurors in the R. Kelly trial in Chicago just suffered a panic attack during a break in proceedings...and the judge rushed to get them out of there.

The unusual scene unfolded on Monday, when the juror, a white woman, began having a panic attack after the prosecution made their final plea. The judge says he was told the juror "couldn't last another minute" and he excused her... according to journalist Jon Seidel.

The judge says a white alternate juror is now stepping in...and like the juror he's replacing, this guy also hasn't seen the Surviving R. Kelly documentary.

The defense teams are now presenting their closing arguments, after the prosecution ripped Kelly to start the day, calling him a sexual predator who used his fame to abuse minors.

Kelly, who has already been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison following a June conviction in New York, should soon know his fate...depending on how long it takes for the jury to return a verdict. verdict.
