But can prosecutor get a unanimous jury decision if it goes to trial?

That's a rhetorical question no doubt. There won't be any trial and at the end of the day this worthless fairy will have made millions out of this.

The public has been subjected to a month of this fake weaponized story all because what? A third or fourth rate actor didn’t think he was getting the attention he wanted on a TV show? So he first sends himself a fake threat-letter. When that doesn’t get enough attention he pays for and stages a fake hate crime which then engulfs the entire country and costs 10’s of thousands of dollars in police time to investigate. A few years in jail is hardly sufficient for the turmoil he’s inflicted.

Didn’t all of those body language experts see he was lying. /s

The fact checkers weren't consulted for some strange reason.

That fake actor has a major case of TDS and a sis who helped Obama sell Obamacare.

I don’t think this guy was really worried abut his gig.

But I am seriously wondering if some pol/s put the idiot up to this.

“Smokeit alleged that the police were wearing MAGA hats, and carrying rope. Smokeit appeared before a bail judge, also alleged to be wearing a MAGA hat, as were the others present in the bail room.”

"Apparently he turned himself in at 5:15 am."

Thus avoiding the perp walk he was promised if he didn't show by 5:30. Damn.

As the saying goes, you can get a grand jury to indict a ham Subway sandwich.

Will Jusse the LIAR be convicted in Chicago? Not a chance. It'll be another OJ jury and jury nullification. Bank on that.

Unanimous decisions are required for all felony trials?

The Virginia Trio should send thank you notes to the guy who wiped them off the 24-hour cycle.

CNN wasn’t staking out his house to report any and all observed activity?

Sorry I mean, a CNN reporter and camera crew didn’t happen to be driving by when they witnessed activity at his house?

Which shows his contrition therefore he should be released with time served.

Sorry, this is all BS. The man attempted to foment hate and incite a riot to promote federal legislation, doubled down and did not one but two press tours, wasted countless hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars of police time and he’s treated like an upstanding citizen and allowed to turn himself in without the perp walk.

Roger Stone gets, is not offered the opportunity to turn himself in, gets raided by a SWAT team and CNN crew, perp walked and THEN GAGGED because his case might get biased?

And what’s Roger Stone indicted for... for LYING.
What’s Smollett being indicted for? LYING.

BS I say... BS.

Lemon's sour grapes.

CNN’s Don Lemon: ‘Tucker Carlson is Going to Eat Jussie Smollett’s Lunch’

“[Fox News’] Sean Hannity is going to eat Jussie Smollett’s lunch every single second. [Fox News’] Tucker Carlson is going to eat Jussie Smollett’s lunch every single second,” Lemon said.

“The president of the United States is going to eat his lunch,” he further added, noting Trump watches cable news every night.

Only if the charges are reduced to the point of absurdity.

Agreed!
The public officials keep saying “This is a complex case”.
That tells me there’s some coverin’ up to be done.

nothing could have been clearer than that Jussie was about to be taken into custody...so where were CNN?

Tweet: CNN Communications: CNN’s ability to capture the arrest of Roger Stone was the result of determined reporting and interpreting clues revealed in the course of events. That’s called journalism. #FactsFirst

His slimy NAACP lawyer will plead it down to a misdemeanor and the slimy Rat Party judge will rule “continued without a finding”.
