One of the brothers just won a boxing match by delivering a knockout in the first round...

TMZ said:
The Osundairo brothers told Chicago police if they really wanted to hurt Jussie Smollett, they could've killed him ... and here's proof.

We've obtained video of Abel Osundairo throwing haymakers Thursday night in Chicago, and you can tell the "Empire" extra is a beast in the ring. Take solace in the fact you weren't his opponent.

Remember, Abel's lawyer says Jussie told the brothers he wanted Abel to "attack" him, but not rough him up too badly. Judging by his boxing skills, Abel suppressed his true strength during the "attack."...

And that's a knockout in less than a minute. Pretty impressive. Jussie must be one bad dude to defend against TWO of these guys and come out virtually unscathed! He coulda been a contenda!

I heard Jussie is a black belt in hair pulling :rolleyes:

Maybe so, but he failed the noose removal part of the course.

I expect he skipped that module. Noose attacks being virtually unknown, and all.

I mean, how retarded is this whole narrative, when you stop to think about it?

When was the last time we heard of a hate crime that involved hanging props on an unharmed victim? Where did this noose idea even come from?

And yet there appears to be some who still believe him. I will never understand the thought processes.

Tbf, is there any interpretation of events that is not bizzare? From the Worlds Most Incompetent Hoax Attempt to CPD trumping up charges to the Osundario's covering their own crimes with a goofy story, there isn't much to make one version more believable than the others.

Smollett pled not guilty. If there was a strong case against him, bad move (as opposed to a plea). In light of how off the wall the whole ordeal is, maybe we are putting too much credibility on the Osundario's version?

The Chicago police say that they have the attack practice session on security camera video.

Ok. What does it actually show? Grainy CC vid of bundled up guys walking in the cold? Based on the earlier persons of interest pics, I highly doubt this vid is clear enough to demonstrate anything to criminal proof standards

The only one I can think of is, "most criminals are really stupid." Fortunately, that is more than enough to interpret this whole incident.

Accepting that level of stupidity makes me inclined to accept any level from any of the players. Even CPD accepting a ridiculous tale from the Osundarios to nail Jussie.

So far it appears that his accomplices are cooperating with the prosecution. If they says "yeah, that's us and Jussie" it will be fine.

And if Smollett says that they are lying? Or that they did meet, and walk around, but it was to score ecstasy or some other reason?

The whole of the evidence seems to hinge on the brothers recounting, rather than hard evidence. Pure spitballing: the Osundarios were or were planning to shake down Smollett. They are at least marginally competent petty criminals and had Plan B at the ready. CPD buys it. Is that much loopier than a staged hoax?

It will show the CPD that the brothers are telling the truth. It would corroborate their story. The police would be looking for ways to see if the brothers are being honest.

Another is the video of the brothers buying the rope.

Investigators can actually use these bits of forensic evidence and even more to test the honesty of the brothers.

Meanwhile, Smollett has failed their tests of honesty.
 
On the bright side, State's Attorney Kim Foxx might be exposed for her corruption as part of this investigation.

Chicago Tribune said:
After being approached by a politically connected lawyer, State’s Attorney Kimberly Foxx asked Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson to turn over the investigation of Jussie Smollett’s reported attack to the FBI, according to communications provided to the Tribune.

Foxx reached out to Johnson after Tina Tchen, former chief of staff to first lady Michelle Obama, emailed Foxx saying the actor’s family had unspecified “concerns about the investigation.” Tchen, a close friend of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s wife, said she was acting on behalf of the “Empire” actor and his family. A relative later exchanged texts with Foxx.

I remember my optimism that we would be rid of some of this machine politics back when we sent Obama, Emanuel, Axelrod, Bill Daley and all of these clowns to Washington back in 2008. So naive.

Charges dropped against ‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett as part of deal

Chicago Sun-Times said:
Prosecutors on Tuesday dropped charges against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett at a surprise court hearing.

The actor, who was charged with 16 counts of disorderly conduct for allegedly hiring two men to attack him in a staged hate-crime attack near his Streeterville home in January, has reached a deferred prosecution deal with prosecutors that will wipe out the charges against him. Smollett will forfeit the $10,000 he posted for bond.

“After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollet’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case,” the Cook County state’s attorney’s office said in statement.

Smollett’s attorneys Tina Glandian and Patricia Brown Holmes issued a statement after the hearing:

“Today, all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped and his record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him. Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify on January 29. He was a victim who was vilified and made to appear as a perpetrator as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public causing an inappropriate rush to judgment.

“Jussie and many others were hurt by these unfair and unwarranted actions. This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion. That is wrong. It is a reminder that a victim, in this case Jussie, deserves dignity and respect. Dismissal of charges against the victim in this case was the only just result.

“Jussie is relieved to have this situation behind him and is very much looking forward to getting back to focusing on his family, friends and career.”...

Smollett isn't "innocent" of the charges.
Smollett isn't "not guilty" of the charges.

But he and his lawyers will publicly promote the opposite.
