| I’m impressed by the investigation/reporting done by local news reporters in Chicago. |
|
How many real crimes didn't get the time and attention they deserved because those detectives were chasing this wild goose?
Absolutely shameful. |
True. If only the national media still had reporters like that. |
It is incredibly shameful. If found guilty, Smollett should pay restitution in the amount “spent” on resources for the investigation. |
You are not as cautious when it comes to changing titles of threads that are anti-one-of-your-pet-causes. I appreciate the caution, but it's not equally applied. That is why I was calling you out (minimally, and you deleted the posts, so I don't expect this one to stand for long either). |
[b] Ummmm that was over the top. Leave the kid out of this. For the record I had a message deleted on this thread and all I said was that I was enjoying watching this clown fall and that I voted for trump. |

“The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office has approved a disorderly conduct charge on Jussie Smollett”
“Jussie Smollet’s case is expected to be called in bond court tomorrow 1:30pm.” https://mobile.twitter.com/CharlieDeMar/ |
Rafer Weigel ?Verified account @RaferWeigel #CPD says #JussieSmollett charged with a class 4 felony for disorderly conduct for filing a false police report. He’s due in bond court tomorrow at 1:30 PM central time. The question is, will he appear? 5:00 PM - 20 Feb 2019 from Chicago, IL |
| I heard a rumor that they went ahead with the grand jury today because Smollett didn’t show to talk to detectives like he said he would. I wouldn’t be shocked if he doesn’t show tomorrow, though hopefully his counsel will encourage him to. |
If he doesn't show tomorrow, I'm pretty sure law enforcement will pick him up--and I wonder if he would be offered bond. |
Yeah, agreed. That’s why I mentioned his counsel encouraging him to turn himself in..it looks better. |
I'm no kind of criminal defense attorney but I think it's safe to say the Smollett strategy of refusing to come in be questioned by police has run its course. |
So, he won't be getting the Roger Stone treatment....... "Detectives will make contact with his legal team to negotiate a reasonable surrender for his arrest," police say |
|
This is like the script for one of those formulaic CSI: Jerkstore shows, except that Smollett's scam would have been uncovered at the 23-minute mark and then turn out to be obscuring the rampage of the true "MAGA Maniac" serial killer who gets figured out at the 40-minute mark and is found in Smollett's bedroom closet with a plastic bag and piano wire. Stay tuned!
In all seriousness, this is utterly bizarre. No one will ever believe anything he says, ever again. I think he should change his name and move abroad. After he gets out of jail, that is. |
Is Jussie going to jail for his hate crime? |
