Jussie Smollet Trial

Motion to move thread to Trials and Errors?

And if we are keeping the title, can we at least tag it with "pooch screwing"?

I move to retitle the thread The Osundairo Connection.

eta: autocorrect objected violently to that last name

Could be interesting. Maybe we’ll be treated to seeing Mr. Smollett breaking down in tears again as he describes the details of that fateful night.

I think being an actor might be a benefit if he does testify. Also, he called himself the "Gay Tupac". So, there are definitely some intangibles.
 
Maybe a bunch of racists trolls will dance around acting like this gives them an excuse to be racist trolls.

He lied. He got caught. Now he's going to trial. Why didn't happen the way it was supposed to?

It's not like the DA covered it up and we had to have nationwide protests to get him arrested. It's not like it happens every day.

"Lookit everyone the black guy did something wrong! That means I'm really not a racist troll!" isn't a valid message to get out of this.

The interesting and significant part of this whole affair was never that he lied and got caught. From the start, the interesting and significant part was how people responded to it. In particular, the credulity of people who thought he was telling the truth, and were so certain that the people who doubted him did so out of some form of malice. This thread offers numerous examples.

Ya or maybe it's just fun to watch **** blow up in the face of people who 100% brought the **** storm on themselves.

That is pretty much exactly the way it didn't unfold. It took quite a bit to get us to the point we are at. Including some song and dance from the State's Attorney, Kim Foxx, who was accused of bias. You may also recall that all of his charges were initially dropped, in exchange for a small amount of community service, and forfeiture of his bond.

Your rant is nonsensical...at best.

Kamala Harris bought it hook, line, and sinker…or pretended to. According to her
it was an “attempted modern-day lynching".

Of course she did; she wanted to get her "Anti-Lynching" bill passed...in whatever form. Because, it was about time we made lynching illegal.

What a zany coincidence that timing was.

I requested mods move this to Trials and Errors. But that was days ago.

Fun stuff so far, including a NY Post report that claims defense attorneys moved for a mistrial because the judge physically "lunged" at them. No reports of the judge wearing a MAGA hat.

Attorney Heather Widell said they had the legal grounds to ask the questions and also accused the judge of visibly “snarling” in front of the jury any time he sustained an objection from the prosecution and wanted to make sure his non-verbal cues were on the record.

“I’ve noticed snarls multiple times,” Widell said.

"Snarls".

The hilarious part is that Smollett played the victim card, and now his attorneys are doing it, too. :D
