Special prosecutor Dan Webb continued his closing argument on Monday by laying out six key pieces of evidence that he believes “destroy” Jussie Smollett’s defense.
In recapping what he already ran the jury through at trial, Webb summarized the case Wednesday in just six easy points for the jury to consider when they go into deliberations either later today or tomorrow:
1. Smollett allegedly withheld evidence from the police such as DNA evidence, medical records and his phone records. Webb believes this is because he didn’t want the crime to be solved.
2. Smollett actively attempted to mislead the police by saying that his attackers were White or “pale-skinned” when the Osundairo brothers are dark-skinned Black men from Nigeria.
3. Smollett faked evidence by seemingly adjusting the rope that his attackers allegedly put around his neck to look tighter when speaking with police. Webb showed an image of the rope looking tighter in his interview with the police. Smollett previously testified that he took the rope off but put it back on when he realized it was important evidence that he shouldn’t have tampered with.
4. The Osundairo brothers could not possibly have known where Smollett was without him telling them his location. Smollett says he was out at 2 a.m. that night to get eggs to keep up with a diet plan but the store was closed. So, he grabbed a Subway sandwich and walked home where he was attacked. Webb went over Instagram messages with Abel Osundairo while Smollett was on the stand Tuesday to try to prove that he was communicating his position.

And a person with such poor judgment could have her finger on the nuclear button...
He filed a false police report, ie. case.
“He filed a false police report, ie. case.”
Obviously.
He doesn’t have to disprove he committed a crime.
Prosecutor has to prove it. (Should be a slam dunk).
I’m addressing the headline in regard to how our constitutional rights work.
There is a phrase: The Dunning-Kruger Effect.
White guilt will free him either thru a not guilty verdict or hung jury.
We get that.
But a case is:
a set of facts giving rise to a legal claim, or to a defense to a legal claim.
Did Jussie not claim he was innocent?
He was making a case.
He certainly exhibits poor self-awareness and wildly overestimates his ‘talents’.
This clown may still walk (it is a Chicago jury), but if he’s found guilty, he should get at the very least the same punishment that someone convicted of the supposed hate crime would get. And that ain’t probation and community service.
Anything less just encourages both hate crimes and phony hate crimes, neither of which we need any more of now.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is not synonymous with low IQ. As awareness of the term has increased, its misapplication as a synonym for "stupid" has also grown. It is, after all, easy to judge others and believe that such things simply do not apply to you.
Just put it to the realistic odd that when blacks claim hate crimes, 98% of the time its committed by themselves or other blacks. But in his case, its pretty good bet that 2 white guys wearing MAGAhats in Chicago were walking down the street at 2am, in -10 below 0 weather, with a rope and a bottle of bleach looking for gay drama queen negros to do whatever they did.
All a defendant needs is reasonable doubt.
Poor writing often reflects poor understanding of our rights and system.
The max is three years on each charge. The consensus opinion among the prognosticators is that if he’s convicted, since he has no criminal record, that he’d get community service and a fine.
Of course that is transparently far-fetched, which is why the impressive lawyer, Nenye Uche, (and Jussie) are now claiming that the two Nigerians took Nigerian phone scamming to a higher level and tried to scam poor Jussie out of a million bucks by themselves, via their masterminded hoax.
It’s pretty obviously a sloppy hoax. He probably mailed himself those nasty letters too. Juicy Sommelier is such a drama queen; and using all this for leverage, publicity and a pay raise from his TV show producers. They ended up writing him out of the show if I recall. Dude’s got problems.
No. Defense is the last presentor
I imagine there is a lot of mental illness among those who perpetrate hoaxes like this acting on a narrative of racism that is very rare. Look at the number of these in colleges around the country (fake nooses on doors, etc).
When you tell people that something is widespread and examples are rare it is only natural that people may manufacture it for any number of reasons - attention, greed, or just plain crazy.
We have wealthy and mostly white elite that is desperate to push the narrative that we are a racist nation when that does not reflect the reality most of us see and observe. We have entire college departments with multiple majors in grievance ideology.
Our society is just now beginning to really experience what this means as “executives” at Salvation Army, Coca-Cola, and pretty much every Fortune 500 Company as well as governments and schools push their indoctrination out to the rest of us.
It is really disgusting that people want to tear apart our nation and divide us but make no mistake.... it is effective in politics because enough people believe it. It brings in tens of millions to schools and provides high paying jobs to academia and throughout society.
The democrats use it every four years with outlandish statements, manufactured events (Charlotte), and any emotional plea they can make to keep those votes. It is corrosive and destructive to the fabric of our country.
E pluribus unum indeed.
*** There must be a precise word that describes those people who think they are very smart and clever, but are actually dumb as rocks - and don’t know it.***
Congress critters? Journalists? Democrats? All of these seem fitting.
#2 - Dave Chappelle skit
#3 - Dave Chappelle skit
The prosecution rest your honor....
Jussie Smollett is nothing but an attention starved gay flamer who lies for a living. What a bad excuse for a human being he is.
