"Smollett testifying in his own defense is one of two things, or maybe both: a narcissistic criminal defendant who is doubling down on his charged lies to law enforcement or defense attorneys who know they are way behind and are throwing a low probability Hail Mary to try to get their client off," former U.S. attorney Neama Rahmani, who is not involved with Smollett's case, told Fox News Digital.
Rahmani added: "Either way, Smollett’s story was a bizarre attempt at forcing a square peg into a round hole by offering every possible explanation for the state’s digital evidence except the most obvious one: that he is guilty. In the unlikely event he is acquitted, Smollett’s decision was a genius move. But it is far more likely that the jury sees through his ruse and Smollett is convicted. If so, the judge may sentence him to prison time for obstructing justice and perjuring himself on the witness stand."
James White, a high-powered attorney in Michigan who is also not involved in the Smollett case, echoed Rahmani's comments that the actor’s testimony was nothing more than "an unparalleled disaster." White noted that he believes Smollett not only "hurt his case" but also "went beyond and made the prosecutor’s case" in the process.

Closing statements in Smollett’s trial are set to begin Wednesday before jurors are dismissed for deliberation.

If the APA hadn’t voted to removed homosexuality from the DSM as a mental disorder, he could have pleaded insanity.
Seriously, though, that dude ain’t right in the head.
Have they found the white MAGA attackers yet?
Ironic how he tied a rope around his own neck.
Smollett attempts to pull off a Hollywood version of a “Jim Crow hate crime”....... in downtown Chicago, no less.
He whines to ABC’s Robin Roberts ..... she just nods sympathetically.
As Kim Foxx said when she dropped the original charges, “He’s suffered enough”....... as a $27,000 a week TV actor.
A SCRIPT MADE FOR BLEEDING HEARTS two white, MAGA-hatted-Trump supporters run around Jussie’s Chicago neighborhood at 2 am in sub-zero temps, happen to be carrying bleach and a noose, attack him, and scream, “This is MAGA country!” (in libtard Chicago?).
Jussie valiantly hangs onto his tuna sub as he’s beaten beyond recognition.
Police find no injuries......and on ABC, jussie’s face shows no evidence of scarring just days after his “mauling” by two body builders.
Turns out Smollett was looking for a pay raise and was miffed the tv PTB did not take seriously a faked letter he wrote about being a “victim.”
So he hired two Nigerian jerks to be the fall guys.......and stupidly paid them by check.
Nothing less than federal prison for hate crimes.
Yeah. He did that twice, eh?
Smollett is the Maxwell Smart of anti-white racists.
From what I’ve read of his ‘career’ before the hoax, he was a ‘climber’, would do anything for attention, and craved fame like a junkie..................................
Yes it was
We all know that if whites were involved in any way, the full force of the government and media would punish every Caucasian
The Obamas have been itching for a race war since the beer summit days
Yes he should be convicted, but going to the Fox chorus of “experts” to tell you how bad Smollett is,I call a waste of time.
And the prediction that the judge will find a criminal defendant perjured themselves in asserting their innocence? Highly unlikely.
“I think he absolutely buried himself to the extent he wasn’t already buried.”
James White, a high-powered attorney in Michigan who is not involved in the Smollett case, noted that the actor’s testimony was nothing more than “an unparalleled disaster.” He believes Smollett not only “hurt his case” but also “went beyond and made the prosecutor’s case” in the process.
“His story is so unbelievable and in the face of the evidence that no reasonable jury is ever going to buy it,” White said of Smollett’s time on the stand in which he admitted to doing drugs with one attacker....and mentioned other personal anecdotes that White believes “[weren’t] relevant” to Smollett’s defense.
Nigerian Brothers fingered as aiding and abetting the hoax testified against Smollett that the former actor paid them (by check) to carry out a fake hate crime attack against him.
Can the judge tack on perjury charges for lying in court?
It wasn’t solely a faux hate crime so much as a multifaceted idea culminating towards resumé padding. No matter who got hurt.
Ask any Chicago beat cop on up to the chief. They know a punk when they come across one.
What’s ironic is that Schmo committed a hate crime which carries a much heavier weight than if he would just committed a regular confidence scam.
Seeing how regular ol’ codes and statutes laws just weren’t enough the left decided to add in that hate crime caveat which is now entangling one of their own.
This “thing” is a gay, black, Hollywood liberal... I wouldn’t be surprised if he walks, or if he’s convicted of anything gets a slap on the wrist.
Never forget this POS was ready to lie about any two white guys. he went to ID the suspects, ready to pick them out. When they showed him the two guys who did it, that he knew and paid them to do so, he did not pick them out. If there were two white guys he would have said they did it and destroyed their lives. he should go to jail for years.
Here’s an interesting video on sociopaths. Especially relevant is the section on lying that starts near the nine-minute mark.

Exactly.
He stirred up hatred and possible danger to white people and those who supported our President.
He is a liar. And that whore VP friend of his needs to be held to light as well.
Funny how her anti-lynching bill came up at the same time as this while pics of the two of them together are all over the internet.
OJ was acquitted, and look what good that did for him.
Like Baldwin, I don’t see this guy ever working again.
Please, he’d enjoy being the center of attention on that kind of island
Don Le’Mon is the CNN news girl who, when a customer at a bar refused to let Le’Mon orally copulate him, Le’Mon physically attacked the refusenik just like a rejected drunk woman. And Le’Mon still has a job at CNN - - unbelievable
