[Inthedetails]

Stunt leads to skepticism about real crimes that happen.

paraphrase.

(My note: LE is seriously angry. Not treating JS with kid gloves.)

I think it was a HUGE mistake to do this interview, I found the whole interview cringe-worthy. Bizarre! Whatever reason behind the story I believe he is a danger and should always be on some watch list. imo.

Reminds me of Scott Peterson’s interview. Sociopaths think they can talk their way out of everything and it usually feels very off to the viewer. The best thing is to stay quiet.

 

[Inthedetails]

Interviewed over 100 people.

 

[Inthedetails]

Found over 20 private-sector cameras. Super useful. Community helped investigation.
paraphrase.

 

[Inthedetails]

Video from cab the two pedestrians rode in. Community provided video in neighborhood where they departed the cab.

Kudos to LE. Awesome work.

Tracked POIs movements that lead to identifying them. Found they took flight to Nigeria. Purchased round-trip ticket with return date of Feb 13, which gave detectives time to follow-up leads. Over 50 search warrants and supoenas during that time.

He went on to allege Smollett, 36, choreographed a "publicity stunt" to further his career because he was "dissatisfied" with his salary.

Jussie Smollett accused of 'faking hate crime' because he wanted a pay rise

Brother‘s attorney said something is fishy, brothers are not the perpetrators, allowed brothers to give CPD a video interview. At that time COD substantiated the timeline.

 

[Inthedetails]

Found POIs when entered customs after return flight. They immediately asked for attorney, who said something smelled fishy. She worked with LE and said POIs were victims not offenders. Investigation turned at that point.
paraphrase

 

[cybervampira]

Jussie‘s lawyers told CPD they have information to wait with the grand jury. But then they had no new information.

 

[Inthedetails]

LE substantiated POIs story.
2/15 - released POIs without charging and LE named them witnesses.
paraphrase

 

[asyousay]

You have got to love to somebody who is unsatisfied with his salary and is now going to be earning £0.000 in a few weeks. It’s all rather ironic!!

Also how stupid do the people who backed Jussie last night forom the set of Empire. They should of kept quiet for another 24 hours as they look ridiculous.

 

[Inthedetails]

Grand jury after Presidents Day holiday. JS attorneys called to say they had more evidence. LE met with JS attorneys, but they provided no new info. Then, witnesses went to Grand Jury. Charges against JS made. Made arrangements for JS to turn himself in, which he did early this morning. Will be in bond court later today.
paraphrase.

Is the brothers' attorney Gloria Schmidt a public defender?

 

[Inthedetails]

Supt answered "yes" to a question....but who knows what the question was. Rest assured, however, the answer was a firm yes.

 

[Gardenista]

Q&A is useless because we can't hear the questions.

To me, this isn't about his race.

It's about his character as a human being- his lack of integrity, his lack of humanity, his lack of morals, his lack of decency.

There are so many wonderful, beautiful, hard working, kind and classy people of his race out there- he chose not to be one of them. He chose to induce hatred, not love and kindness. He chose to cause strife, not peace. He chose to make a mockery of himself- not anyone else. This is a blight on his character, no one else's. There are many black people that are livid over what he just did and are speaking out. My hat is off to them.

I would feel the same way if he was white, Hispanic, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, etc. This does nothing to calm the waters in terms of the racial tension that has recently risen in years- this just stands to cause another tsunami of hate again, all for attention.

The old expression- " just because you can (make a class arse out of yourself and are lucky enough some witless lemmings will praise you), doesn't mean you should".

It's quite clear that the little crap disturbers aren't happy when others are getting along just fine, living side by side, working together to make our country tall and proud.

Land of the free- home of the brave. We have precious freedoms in this country that many across the world could only dream of in their dismal existences. Yet people like this choose to abuse this freedom- they're not brave. They didn't defend anything or make a positive statement about themselves, they cowardly hide behind support of those who fall for the ruse while laughing silently at all the unrest their little stunt caused. Just how does this make our country strong, proud and free?
