Jail time otherwise don't care. Including right-wing spin about it.

Dude is an idiot for faking a hate crime against himself. Don't see how that does justice to true victims of hate crimes. Not to mention, he threw away a burgeoning acting career in the process. Can't see how he escapes prison time and neither should he.

Lol @ the defense argument. This is going to be polar opposite of the Rittenhouse trial. The defense will play the clown in this one.

Yep he just gives conservatives ammo to go after any black person who gets attacked and there aren't videos around to prove what happened. It's a shame there is no legal remedy for that particular crime against humanity.

This should be a slam dunk case.

The defense says the brothers didn't like him and the $3500 he paid them was for their help in a music video.

So the defense is now acting like the brothers committed the "attack?" What happened to the MAGA hat-wearing white guy? Did defense address why Smollett lied about that?

I'm not sure the defense has the brains to address this issue. The guy is likely going to plead to a lesser charge and not have to actually take the stand.

why is Black Lives Matter still supporting Jussie Smollett?

Black Lives Matter stands in solidarity with Jussie Smollett: ‘We can never believe police’

BLM leader Melina Abdullah called trial a 'white supremacist charade'

A Black Lives Matter leader said Tuesday that the movement will continue to support Jussie Smollett regardless of the outcome of his trial, which she described as a "white supremacist charade."

this has nothing at all to do with white supremacy, this is about someone who lied about a racist attack and thought that they could get away with it.


why does Black Lives Matter still want to abolish the police. not just defund but abolish. this is just stupid, while many black Americas don't even support this.

"As abolitionists, we approach situations of injustice with love and align ourselves with our community. Because we got us," Abdullah said in a statement on the website for the BLM movement’s national arm, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation.

In the first 3 weeks he went from "victim" to "alleged victim" to "the person who reported the attack".

There are so many aspects of his story that are farcical that it's not reasonable to find him not guilty, but TV shows that portray trials has made juries be more likely to want slam dunk proof that there it's completely possible he's not found guilty.
