She talks normal speed for the Great Northeast, but has that Valley Girl rising thing at the end of sentences that makes them all sound like questions. Not that I'd absolutely kill her for that immediately after meeting her, mind you.
So: hot sauce bottle conspiracy fun! Reporter says she strolled across it and touched it before setting it back down. Checked it out with CPD later.
Sounds like she planted it herself, with the early visit to explain what she was doing there (possibly on street video, though not caught at that exact location because we understand no cameras were pointing there) and why her prints/DNA were on it. Has this been somehow ruled out? Seems more plausible than the cops completely missing the one piece of evidence at the scene, and the glass bottle still being at the bottom of a set of stairs unbroken 10 days later.
eta; forgot, the Osindarios confirmed it was their bottle after being shown a pic, not before. I don't have any halos over their heads, and seriously; Smollett and the cops went to that utterly abandoned street and didn't see the freaking bottle right in front of them?
Wasn't there was also an amateur video made tracing his route that filmed that area clearly, panning the ground at the attack scene, before the bottle was found, and did not show this prop? Inquiring minds want to know.
