A man who worked with Jussie Smollett testified Wednesday that the former “Empire” actor recruited him and his brother to fake a homophobic and racist attack on him in downtown Chicago nearly three years ago.
Abimbola Osundairo said Smollett asked him and his brother “to fake beat him up” and instructed them on how to carry out the January 2019 hoax. Smollett planned a “dry run” and gave him a $100 bill to buy supplies for the staged attack, Osundairo said.
He said he and his brother agreed because Osundairo, who worked as a stand-in on “Empire,” felt indebted to Smollett for helping him with his acting career.
Smollett, 39, is charged with six counts of felony disorderly conduct for making what prosecutors say was a false police report — one count for each time he gave a report, to three different officers. The class 4 felony carries a prison sentence of up to three years, but experts have said if Smollett is convicted he likely would be placed on probation and ordered to perform community service.

Osundairo said that a few days prior to the attack, Smollett showed him some hate mail he said he received at the “Empire” studio. Jurors viewed the note, which included a drawing of a person hanging by a noose, with a gun pointed at the stick figure and the letters “MAGA,” an apparent reference to then-President Donald Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again.”
He said a few days later that Smollett sent him a text message asking to meet up “on the low,” which he took to meet in private about something secret. Osundairo said when they met up, Smollett asked him “to beat him up” and asked if his brother could help.

“I was confused, I look puzzled,” Osundairo said, and then “he explained he wanted me to fake beat him up.”
Osundairo said that prior to the staged attack, Smollett drove the brothers to the spot where the attack would occur, and they decided the men should throw bleach on Smollett rather than the original plan to use gasoline. He also said Smollett said a camera in the area would record the attack.
“He wanted a camera to catch it,” Osundairo said.
I hope he gets at least 6 months in the Illinois prison system. He’ll make all kinds of new friends.

Lock Him Up!
Criminal defendants go to trial when (1) they’re innocent and the DA doesn’t care (see Rittenhouse) or (2) when their guilty and have no hope of a plea, thinking they could get jury nullification or object/confuse their way out of a conviction.
Having a co-conspirator testify about a dry-run on the day before is PRETYY DAMNING EVIDENCE. Don’t know how you get past that.
There’s got to be some other punishment for this fruit cake. I would think he would enjoy prison too much. Especially dropping the soap in the showers.
He should squeal on Kamala.
For anyone who hasn’t seen it, Chris Rock is hilarious destroying Smollett:

That turd burglar would enjoy going to the big house with all those men.
He’ll be somebody’s bitch within hours of arrival.

Like making him wash Trump’s underware.
Or changing TalyBidens diaper .
He’ll be somebody’s bitch within hours of arrival.
And being quite happy with that....
He already bought a longer rope for his soap
They beat old Jesse up but they left his sandwich in eating condition.
The stupidity is startling on the Jussee
He should be sent to a women’s prison. That would actually be a punishment for him.
His IQ is probably lower than somalians.
Not sure about that. His Dad is Jewish, they are typically pretty smart folks.
They should have gone all method acting on him.
I forgot where I heard the line but it goes something like “for gay guys, prison is like summer camp.”
“The class 4 felony carries a prison sentence of up to three years, but experts have said if Smollett is convicted he likely would be placed on probation and ordered to perform community service.”
Because he’s SPECIAL, or because he’s NUTS?
What a crock! And I’m amazed to read that this dude is 39 years old! Yeesh! How long does it take for kids to grow up these days?
And what’s his friend, our *SPIT* Vice President, have to day about all of this? Wasn’t her number in his phone or something? Or she tweeted about his innocence?
