How is Smollett going to spin the checks he wrote them to ‘lightly’ beat him up?
But all he has to do is create a reasonable doubt in some weak minded juror.

O.J. say he know, man, he know.
He says it was for vitamin supplements he was buying from them.
Yeah, wish it were televised...
“But all he has to do is create a reasonable doubt in some weak minded juror.”
Not that I care about Jussie Swallowit, but this could be a legal strategy.
Since you KNOW that you are guilty and KNOW they have OVERWHELMING incriminating evidence, what do you do?
Of course, you plead guilty and throw yourself on the mercy of the court.
BUT, you are an ACTOR (like Alec Baldwin). So you get yourself on the grand stage of public opinion and ACT!
Cry, I didn’t do it, it was someone else’s fault, they are out to get me ‘cause I’m Black and LGBT (Alec can’t use those two).
Then, buy a juror, hope for a hung jury (NOT that type of “hung” Jussie).
Maybe a mistrial? Then if convicted, free on bail while waiting on his appeals. Rinse, repeat.
Stay out of jail until you get lucky. Could take YEARS!
