Yeah with a name like Juicy he is going to be high on everyone’s list.

Rick Springfield should write a new version of his song.

Since he was dumb enough to testify under oath and then proceed to lie his ass off, shouldn't there be a perjury issue here? I would hope the judge might take that into consideration when sentencing.

"I wish that I was Juicy's Boy" sounds like a hit!

The city still intends to get back over $130k from Smollett.

The jury in the Jussie Smollett trial believed it was doing the man “a favor” after convicting the actor on five counts of disorderly conduct but not a sixth count, one of the jurors told the Chicago Sun-Times.

The decision turned out to be a struggle for the jury, the juror told the outlet on Friday.

But in the final hour, “we all thought we were doing Jussie a favor,” the juror, who asked to remain anonymous, explained.

The count charged him with lying during an interview with detectives on February 14 when he claimed he had been the victim of an aggravated battery.

The additional five counts of disorderly conduct he was convicted of were for reporting a battery incident and also for reporting a hate crime to authorities following the attack, the Sun-Times report continued:

Essentially, the jurors got hung up on the reasoning behind the last charge and why it was charged differently than the others. “We were told it was an aggravated battery because he said they were wearing a mask,” the juror said. But “in all [of Smollett’s] accounts of what happened, he mentioned a mask.” If prosecutors had charged all the battery counts the same, “I think we probably would have found him guilty” on all six, she said.

It took the group of six women and six men nine hours to make a decision regarding Smollett.

But not all of them were convinced special prosecutors proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt in the beginning of deliberations on Wednesday evening, according to the juror.

“It was not evenly split, but there were some doubters,” she recalled.

It was not that doubters thought Smollett was innocent, the woman explained, but they wanted additional time to review the evidence and discuss it.

“I just hope that [Smollett and his attorneys] know that we went in there with an open mind,” the juror told the Sun-Times. “I listened to both sides. We wanted to make sure that those who had doubts didn’t feel pressured.”

Most gratifying

"Jussie Christ" I love it

That was outstanding; not only was it on CNN, but on that fool Lemon’s show. He just sat there like the proverbial bump on a log

Wow, that was a great clip. I’d like to hear more from that guest, seems like a fair minded fellow. Thanks for posting.

Ha pretty good interview.

the man in the interview w Lemon is John McWhorter

https://www.timesleaderonline....-anti-woke-religion/

“If you pull the camera back and think about 1965, and think about last week, there’s been massive improvement. The question is why so many people pretend that that’s not true.”

That bracing dose of wisdom comes from John McWhorter, Columbia University linguistics professor and author of several books on other subjects, going back to his 2000 book, “Losing the Race: Self-Sabotage in Black America.”

He’s also a critic of what he calls, in the title of his latest book, “Woke Racism.”

McWhorter, who was born in 1965, identifies the anti-racism of that era as aimed at “slavery and legalized segregation” and “consistent with, indeed compelled by, the nation’s founding principles.”

In contrast, he argues the current wave of anti-racism attacks those founding principles and condemns American society.

McWhorter thinks “woke racism” is: “A new religion (that) has betrayed Black America,”

Policies advanced in the latest wave include defunding or discouraging policing, lavish welfare for single mothers and racial quotas.

McWhorter commits useful heresy by pointing out the predictable consequences are bad for Black people — and for Americans generally. The Black Lives Matter movement’s success has had about 2,000 more Black people killed than would have under previous murder rates.

He notes that propagators of the woke catechism tend to be affluent white liberals.


A long 45 minute interview w McWhorter from 2019 . I agree w a lot of what he says, but he is an obama fan and Trump despiser.

Very surprised McWorter was brought on as a guest. While he's far from a conservative, he's been quite critical about the happenings around Black culture, where the Left has driven the perspectives of minorities and how the news/entertainment sectors have framed societal discussions.

D'Souza says he thinks this fraud will get a year in jail, because the judge sees the guy has shown no remorse whatsoever and takes no responsibility for his crime. He says the guy was counting on jury nullification, and also says Smollett achieved his goal of being famous, but what he's famous for is being a liar and a bigot, and that his career is over.

Mark your calendars. Jussie learns his fate on March 10. I'll bet he's sweatin' bullets.

You should have just owned up, man, but that would require you to tell the truth, and everyone knows by now that you are incapable of taking responsibility for your actions.

Jussie Smollett sentencing date set in hate crime hoax case

I’m really hopeful for legal, not social, justice. Set the example about lying to police and the judicial system.

Sometimes the morning news makes me smile . . .

CHICAGO - Jussie Smollett will be sentenced on March 10 after he was convicted of five of six counts in his hate crime hoax case, Fox News Digital can confirm.

There will also be a status hearing on Thursday, Jan 27.

He has never taken responsibility for his actions and he attempted to shame both the judge and the prosecutor when he was on the stand during his trial. My belief is that he will see some jail time. It may not be much, but if the judge has any sense of justice, he will make sure this fraud gets a taste of what jail time is like.

Otherwise, it will appear that he got off light because of his celebrity, and I don't think that his teeny little star is going to help him at this point. Everyone knows he's guilty. Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock, among others, openly mocked Smollett in public.

Pride and ignorance is a bad combination.
