Jussie Smollett’s Lawyer Asks Attacker About Bathhouse Masturbation


Smollett’s Defense Team Accuses Seething Judge of ‘Snarling,’ ‘Lunging’ at Them



I am impressed. The defence team has taken an embarrassing, hopeless train wreck of a case and made it into an even more embarrassing, even more hopeless train wreck of a case.

This all sounds like a shitshow.
Pretty much. There is method to the madness.

The defence is trying to provoke, insult and anger the judge and get him to make mistakes, which they can then appeal. It means that they are sleazebag shysters who realize the trial is not winnable by ordinary methods and are trying to cheat their way to a cheap win. They could well end up getting sanctioned and cited at the end of the trial.

If the judge can keep his temper, he can just ride through the insults and provocations, shrug off their bullshit and it's still a slam dunk for the DA.

The downside to "judge-baiting" is that if the judge keeps it together, your client gets convicted. And when your client gets convicted, the judge controls the sentence. And any point along the spectrum of "reasonable" will withstand an appeal hearing on sentence - especially if the Court of Appeal bench picks up scuttlebutt about the judge-baiting either from gossip or from simply reading the transcript of the hearing. If THAT happens, the CA is quite capable of being creative and "reasoning" that even a viciously cruel, overly harsh and ballbreaking, swingeing sentence from the trial court is "perfectly reasonable, generous to the accused even". (LOLOLOLOL - we're having our own little judge chuckly joke here). The Bench can create its own "alternate reality" by just pretending and frequently does, if it wants to send a message by hammering someone for sketchy behaviour.

I'd put this fucker in prison for the maximum allowed by law. He set back race relations years with this hoax.

Two Black guys from Nigeria wearing MAGA hats... maybe they just wanted the Subway sandwich. The only connection this has with Donald Trump is that Nigeria is on his personal list of "shithole countries".

Jussie Smollett TAKES THE STAND,

He's like George Costanza, who said, "It's not a lie if you believe it."........One of the comments from YouTube comment section and it certainly applies here.

I think he should serve a few months just for insulting everybody's intelligence here.

Jussie won't do well in prison......

Show some contrition get some mental health counselling and fall on your sword for Christs sake.

Make a deal and save yourself from being further embarrassed. I don't understand his end game here.

They have him dead to right..........
based on his sexual preference...I think he WILL do well in prison...lol...sausage fest...

I am amazed this is going to court.
I would have thought he just took a deal and the hit.
Deal would probably be the best option he has and save whatever is left of his career..instead he's doubling down...maybe trying to pull an ace off his sleeve somewhere...
