So does he, probably not for the same reason you did though.

Shouldn't he be in custody awaiting sentencing at this point. Where is the new feed? I heard guilty for 5 of the 6 charges, but not clear on what 5 or what the sentencing could be for those 5.

Count 1 accuses him of telling responding Chicago Police Officer Muhammed Baig at around 2:45 a.m., some 45 minutes after the purported attack, that he was the victim of a hate crime. He said two attackers put a rope around his neck.

Count 2 refers to Smollett telling the same officer he was a victim of a battery, describing attackers beating and pouring bleach on him.

Counts 3 and 4 are when Smollett made the same claims but to a different officer, Kimberly Murray, later that morning, at just before 6 a.m.

Count 5 accuses Smollett of again telling Murray at around 7:15 p.m. that he was the victim of a battery.

Count 6 refers to Smollett reporting on Feb. 14, 2019, to detective Robert Graves that he’d been a victim of an aggravated battery.

I hope that Kim Foxx gets a big black eye because of this. The link to WGN has a discussion ongoing with an attorney who is very knowledgeble as well as reporters who covered the trial.

She is the States Attorney for Cook County responsible for allowing felons out on low bail and other travesties of justice. CPD Sig could fill you in. She was raised in Cabrini Green which was perhaps the worst housing project in Chicago.

Dan Webb was appointed special Prosecutor due to her inaction and poor behavior.

I've a feeling the sentence will be lenient. Maybe a tiny bit of jail time or perhaps just probation. He should "get the book thrown at him" but that's just not going to happen. Black guy, gay, heretofore a popular actor. Nope no hard time for him.

Dan Webb said the investigation cost was 100 grand.
He prosecuted the case as a public service. Very eloquent is talking now. Live at:

Few things are more cringeworthy than watching some (generally older) conservative honkeys debate and complain over whether they can or should be able to say the words "nigger/nigga" anymore.

As though you're missing out somehow (you're not). As though you actually want to use it in a non pejorative way (most don't). As though it was ever in use much in your own circles except in some plainly pejorative ways (it usually wasn't).

Further, no one will stop you if you want to say it badly enough. Go on, give it a try, put your big kid pants on and let it rip, hot rod, if you want to that badly. Try it mid conversation, just sprinkle it in, sing some rap lyrics if you prefer to.

You numbnuts ought to put this silly notion to rest and quit embarrassing yourselves. Else, just talk however you like, and face whatever consequences come. I've said the words tons, non pejoratively, and all is fine. Be bold, don't hide your love of it..

Intent matters, audience matters, what's in your heart matters, and anyone with an IQ over lukewarm knows it, but instead you dorks cry like wounded little girls over a word you probably never liked anyway except as an old and tired racial insult.

Ridiculously pathetic, and appalling to see Darth caught up in this wretched nonsense.

You dudes need to get a grip.

Juicy is a blithering idiot, regardless, a race baiting, lying, fucking moron, but don't confuse his nonsense and this case for the rest of the story, and quit acting incensed over it, you poor poor babys.

I missed this earlier and I know you've been told to behave yourself, but I think you misunderstood the point of my post. I don't use that word because I think it hurts my spirit to debase myself thusly. My great grandmother used it. I was very young but knew even then it was an ugly word.

I also think it's a dangerous precedent to establish that one group of people can own a word and have legitimate control over it. Surely you can see where that leads the culture. Now, I get the sense your perceptions on many topics are disfigured by some kind of prejudice. I'll thank you to give me the benefit of the doubt. If you can't bring yourself to do that, please don't ever address me again.

You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier

In normal times yep, these days when crimes are forgiven, I'm not so sure. I hope so... we'll see. Then of course there will be more looting. Because we need free shit to make "the man" pay.

IIRC, He has a prior for lying to police. Interesting to see how that factors in.

I’d think he’d at least visit a cell for a few weeks. Like Felicity Huffman and Lori Laughlin in the USC bribery case. Smollett’s case is worse for the racial implications and the waste of city resources. Plus, he had any number of chances to admit the truth. He just had to double down on the hoax.

He has two civil suits against him as well. He will also appeal the verdict. City of Chicago as well as the O brothers. The Smollett attorney is quite unimpressive.
