Jussie's lawyer soundsl like she is as dodgy as Jussie. She claims the judge "lunged" at her when they were alone, demanded a mistrial which was rejected, then cried and left the room with her mother while the court was still in session! What lawyer behaves like that! All because she didn't like someone putting a stop to her line of questioning!
FFS!
They're all insane. I mean it. Because of the tensions around that time ... the Trump hate and the BLM stuff ... a lot of people lost their marbles entirely.
There was a huge tsunami of jumping in feet first on anything that had even the tiniest whiff of racism or homophobia. Enter Jussie.
Most of the main characters driving the Jussie bandwagon were and still are, POC and something other than plain old boring heterosexual. They leapt to his defence without looking at the facts realistically and gave him a bye ball by calling in favours in high places to get the cops to back off looking closely at Smollett himself. At this point his cheer leaders should be
"hmm, I think ole Jussie just made bleeps of us. I think I'll just tiptoe quietly outta here and hope nobody notices" , but I'll be damned if they're not
bleeping doubling down,

refusing to concede even one inch of ground as if it was some hugely important battle and a hill they will die on. It isn't.
It is a greedy
b who resented not getting the raise and the more important script, so he crushed up some headache pills and sent it in a stupid drawing of a lynching to the producers. For fox sake Empire is a black show, there are no 'whiteys' to impress with that
tit. OK, so he upped the ante with his lil drama at 2am, in -16 windchill in a polar vortex in Chicago.

Because he had the munchies. Then drifted around his apartment to greet the cops still wearing the rather fetching white haberdashery cord that was supposed to represent a hangmans noose. Good grief, if Albert Pierrepoint had used that stuff nobody would ever had been hung because it would have snapped.
Honestly, it's nuts that he's still pushing this bullshit, and more nuts that he has backing who are determined to force the world to believe this shite.
