+susieice Posted December 9, 2021 Author #76 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The verdict should be announced any minute now. The prosecutor did make a great point in closing arguments. https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/jussie-smollett-trial-verdict/ "To outright denigrate something as serious, as heinous, as a real hate crime — to denigrate it and then make sure it involved words and symbols that have such horrible historical significance in our country," Webb said. Webb also reiterated his doubts about Smollett's testimony, arguing that he would not have gone out to buy eggs at 2 a.m. on one of the coldest nights of the year and that the Osundairo brothers would not have been able to ambush him unless they knew his exact location, CBS Chicago reported. "They knew where he was going to be because they were told where to be," he said. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F3SS Posted December 9, 2021 #77 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Y'know I've always thought about had his story been believed he would've been perfectly fine picking out the first 2 random white guys with a Maga hat out of the lineup and destroying their lives.

+susieice Posted December 10, 2021 Author #92 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Smollett's lawyer says they will appeal. If his lawyer knew there were other witnesses, why did he not call them to the stand? Jussie was the sole defense witness. Who are these people? https://apnews.com/article/jussie-smollett-entertainment-crime-united-states-hate-crimes-6bacee833936ed9dbb0784cc0ee1df89 But Uche said Chicago police should have investigated the case “much more,” and that there were some witnesses who were never interviewed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted December 10, 2021 Author #93 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) I guess Don Lemon is in some hot water too. Smollett testified in court that Lemon sent him texts telling him that the police weren't believing his story. I don't watch CNN so I didn't see any of this happen. https://www.newsweek.com/cnn-faces-calls-fire-don-lemon-over-jussie-smolletts-court-testimony-chicago-trial-1657185 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10295231/Don-Lemon-throws-old-pal-Jussie-Smollett-wolves-branding-LIAR.html Don Lemon turned on his old pal Jussie Smollett hours after his conviction for faking a hate crime - but continued to avoid claims he'd offered the actor inside information about the police probe into his claims. Speaking hours after Smollett was convicted of faking a racist and homophobic hate crime, Lemon said: 'He had to make up too many lies as to why he didn't want to do certain things,' said Lemon on Thursday night. 'To cover. Like another lie - and I guess he got caught up in that because he took the stand himself. 'He got angry with the prosecutor as the prosecutor poked holes in his story - calling the only other witnesses liars.' Lemon also blasted Smollett for making it harder for real victims of hate attacks to be taken seriously. And he listened intently while his legal analyst Joey Jackson called for Smollett to face jail Asked by Lemon what he thought of the verdict, Jackson said: 'I think it's the proper result.' https://news.yahoo.com/cnns-don-lemon-criticized-not-035025939.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGAhh5iUOOXPJ6g4ighNjkcrjwNvWwgXfT5qZQ1qH7uIPdukZY7F-A0a44rhpr5r-9xIqxT8mVjp2mxXiNtzLg1tt_PWUZpGw-f1rAqSsiIE4VtZxeQlsqbw8NAXV0lMuaIJ2Xp_NxC_wASI-YczgL9-Z-FWinNfO6KvPgBO6ZdC Edited December 10, 2021 by susieice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
