My H is a white cop and while he doesn't think they framed him he think the compromised the investigation so much that it would be impossible to prove in court and actually unable to prove either way.

There is no way to prove the cops did not feed the brothers the "they got paid" story to save face since they obviously came out immediately treating Jussie as a suspect instead of a victim.

Maybe if cops didn't frame innocent people so often, they'd have more credibility when they say someone is guilty. Just a thought.

A lot of the time, it is not even deliberate frame job. They are just SOOO convinced that they have the right person, every means justifies their ends, no matter how shady, illegal, or unethical. It is a shame.

There is no human on earth that is credible enough ... we should always use physical evidence.

There's more than enough physical evidence to convict Smollett.

The prosecutor has lost all credibility.

And let’s not forget that the DAs office did not exonerate him- his forfeiture of bond and community service are evidence of that along with the DAs own statements.

There is literally no physical evidence.

BS and you know it.

There are phone records, there is a check, there are two big black guys who confessed, and on and on and on.

Oh really? That's not what the police chief said.

I'm sure it's the same ignorant people who thought OJ was framed. Yes, Chicago cops have lied to justify a shooting and one cop got busted for framing people. Considering there are over 10k Chicago cops, this idea that cops are just going around busting poor, innocent people is BS.

I do not think he was actually FIRED from his series “Empire.”

I think he just had some episode scene cuts plus didn’t appear in the last two.

This case is just another example of how fame, power + the almighty dollar can buy one justice.
We saw it w/O.J. over twenty years ago.

And we will continue to witness it time & time again.....

And now the Michelle Obama connection is coming to light...

I'm glad Chris Rock spoke out and said Jussie doesn't deserve any sympathy or respect. But another celeb immediately said she stands with Jussie.

I hope the Feds bring charges.

a good article - https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/30/us/jussie-smollett-tina-tchen/index.html
very detailed

Weeks before a grand jury indicted Smollett on the theory he falsely reported being the victim of a hate crime, relatives of the actor, who is black and gay, had expressed to Tchen "concerns about the investigation" by Chicago police.

Getting the right person to take those sort of concerns seriously has been a hallmark of Tchen's career, highlighted by a stint as then-first lady Michelle Obama's chief of staff and now by her work leading a probe of workplace culture at the Southern Poverty Law Center.

This is definitely not the narrative on any black media or message boards, but since it’s coming from your “black friend” it must be so.

Yeah, that's the one I saw, thank you.
