For the fifth time, Jussie Smollett’s attorneys are asking for more time to file a brief with the state appellate court that is reviewing the actor’s 2021 conviction for faking a hate crime.

Smollett’s attorneys had previously said their arguments in the actor’s appeal would be submitted to the three-judge panel of the 1st District Court of Appeals by Wednesday. Instead, they asked for a fifth extension.

The attorneys said their brief is ready for the judges’ review, but they are still waiting on a ruling from the court over whether they can submit a longer filing than is typically allowed.

Trying to run the memory clock out, obviously. The further the appeal is away from the crime/conviction, the more likely the conviction will go away, or be mitigated.

Time for the little whiny biatch to knock off the whining and crying and do his time for his crime. Come on sonny, Brokeback Mountain up and take your medicine like a real girlyman.

I don’t understand why he doesn’t want to do his time. There are lots of nice gentlemen there to entertain him.

The idea of a longer brief than is usually permitted is a sign of an exceptionally weak case on appeal and of lawyers milking the client.

My biggest question about his whole case is why Subway hasn't picked him up a a sponsor yet.

I'd think an established celebrity willing to face freezing temperatures and a beat down by white supremacists in the wee hours of morning just to enjoy one of your sandwiches would make for a pretty solid endorsement.

America seems to have more than our fair share of insane, narcissistic lowlifes.

Waiting till they can get the right mix on the court panel. Must be someone going to move off and someone they like moving on.

I’m afraid you may be correct.
