[Kristin Esq.]

Priorities, ma’am. Throw some Cheetos on the floor!

I'm sure my kids would love that!

Geez, we are going to need another thread. Of course. Sentencing, appeal, on and on...

I like what Dan Webb is hammering home. The number one victim(s) of this crime are the true victims of a hate crime. They will be even more reluctant to report now. The number two victim is the Chicago Police department, and then it's we the citizens.

The real hate crime, was this hoax. It was an ugly stereotype, directed at a specific group of people.

 

[Snoods]

Prosecutor: That the brothers just happened to stumble over there at the same time he was going to get eggs at 2 in the morning is ridiculous.

Lmao!

 

[Gardenista]

Dan wants him in prison.

 

[Seattle1]

Special Prosecutor Wells is nailing it.

 

[shotgun09]

Yes! Dan Webb is bringing up Smollett's history of lying to the police in 2007. He has continued to lie

 

[Ontario Mom]

This is quite enjoyable to watch. Justice in action.

ETA - and then the defense dude showed up. Oy.

 

[mickey2942]

I just got home, who is the guy talking right now?

Okay, it is the defense...double jeopardy?!

 

[Ontario Mom]

This is getting creepy. Again.

 

[Gardenista]

This guy is terrible.

 

[Ontario Mom]

Sending him to jail is sending him to death. Holy cow. This guy is over the top.

 

[shotgun09]

He just said politics doesn't belong in the courtroom.....after that unbelievable mitigation

 

[shotgun09]

and break....
Will Jussie speak?

 

[Ontario Mom]

Well, 5 minute recess. This was wild to watch this evening.
Defense pulled every single card. Gay, black, Bible, Oscar Winner, all the celebrity name dropping, etc.

 

[Ontario Mom]

and break....
Will Jussie speak?

I hope not. But probably yes.

 

[Gardenista]

As we speak, he's psyching himself up for the acting job of his life.

 

[sassyblue]

From the commentary it seems Jussie declined to tell his side of the hoax...oops...story.

 

[mickey2942]

"We all make mistakes?!" But wait, I thought JS was convicted wrongly? Which is it?!

A double standard for the black community?

Restitution? If Smollett has to pay any amount, he can't because he is a loser, who is broke.

Give Smollett probation, no fine, and a hug.
