Jussie Smollett calls attackers 'liars,' defense rests
The Hill ^ | 12/07/2021 | MONIQUE BEALS

Posted on 12/07/2021 1:07:39 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The defense for former "Empire" actor, Jussie Smollett, rested their case on Tuesday after Smollett testified that the brothers involved in what prosecutors argued was a feigned hate crime were "liars."

"They're liars," Smollett said of the brothers as he testified on Tuesday, according to NBC News. "They also said I had something to do with it, and I didn't."

The prosecution has argued that Smollett staged a “fake hate crime” against himself by hiring two brothers, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, to stage a fake attack against him in 2019.

It’s too bad this case wasn’t televised

Every blip of Juicy in the news cycle is a free promotional gift for Dave Chapelle and a real slap in the face for the media. I like Dave.

If I was on the jury, this would piss me off enough that I would vote guilty on every charge.

If anyone bothers to try him for perjury, since he appears to be a sociopath, he'll never agree to a plea deal, and will get a lot of prison time for it.

The vast majority of blacks agree with Chappelle on Juicy.

"They didn't realize we were supporting him...with our silence. We knew this ****** was clearly lying!"
