Today I saw Anna Paquin being interviewed on that new mid-day show with Michael Strahan and Sarah Hanes. She is starring in a new show about female PR "fixers." I predict this exact fiasco will be a storyline if the show reaches a season 2! (No clue if it will make it past season 1, which I assume has already wrapped up filming).

Jussie is providing so much good fodder for....Ray Donovan, L&O SVU, Scandal......

Maybe he should be getting some royalties.
 
Sure, but we little people, if committing a crime, don't get the kind of attention and public response as he did either.

(Not excusing him and not denying the system isn't always fair...and not denying he brought this on himself).

Strange case from the start...

I get you aren't excusing anything, but there are plenty of high profile crimes committed by little people that get massive national attention. These people do not get the white glove treatment. It's just wrong and makes me think if this didn't get national attention the CPD would have swept it under the rug.

EXACTLY. (bbm)
 
I get that nobody wants another OJ situation; but it's flabbergasting to me that they can't, I dunno, just go out and pick him up at his home or something...? A couple years ago I was on jury duty, when we "lost" a juror (drunk-out after the Yankee game) just as we were about to start jury deliberations; the judge sent courthouse police out to the inconsiderate slacker's home that morning to roust him out of bed and escort him in the cruiser. This strikes me like the same thing - Jussie is slowing the progress of justice even further than he has already. Hiding out somewhere isn't going to make the charge go away! :rolleyes:
 
Honestly, I think that he is going to do some time here. People are angry, both sides. This guy did something pretty impressive, he has both lefties and righties hating on him. Blacks, gays, white folk, is there anyone this guy didn't alienate?

He did something pretty amazing in uniting the country
 
Finally.
An arrest for setting up a false narrative against people who support our President.
Please do not tell me that this was not politically motivated.
I consider all of these shenanigans, a hate crime.
It does not matter what color your skin is.
I hope our justice system throws the book at him.

It's down right disgusting.

    BREAKING: #Smollett CPD spox Guglielmi "We want to do this as peacefully and respectfully as possible." Smollett could potentially turn himself in tonight. Police do not know where Smollett is and "his attorneys have not shared where he is at this point."

    BREAKING: #Smollett CPD have "no communication from him to do that." While police are not actively looking for Smollett because "this is not a violent crime", "the longer this goes, the more we have to do what we have to do" and "then we have to take a different approach."//3

But the method acting "defense" doesn't explain why he would be prancing around back to his building with a noose necklace! Take that thing off...geeesh!
He was cavorting around with it as if it were a Medal of Honor. He probably wore it the emergency room.

I asked admin for the thread title to be changed now that he is officially a suspect in his own planned attack.
 
Depends upon the jury. He could end up with a very sympathetic juror or two for sure.

You know, in this case, from what I have seen and heard, black folk are not going to be Jussie's friends here. Especially since he set up 2 other black folk. That is bad juju for a Chicago jury. So, let's say they want a change of venue...Skokie? A jury full of Jewish folk? Who hate, loathe, and despise anyone who plays a victim game. Okay, new place, North shore, bunch of rich white folks, no, definitely not Jussie's friends. North shore is more Republican.

Jussie Smollett is gonna be in a world of hurt if they don't make a plea deal.
