JUSSIE SMOLLETT TRIAL UPDATES

 

Clown show: Jussie Smollett’s defense attorney accuses the judge of physically lunging at her, snarling

Considering the attention it got from some high-profile people — Sen. Cory Booker and the current vice president both called it a “modern-day lynching” — there really ought to be more media coverage of the Jussie Smollett trial. Smollett is on defense, and as we’ve reported, it hasn’t been going well for him. The brothers he allegedly paid to beat him up and yell, “This is MAGA country” have testified that that’s exactly what happened, but now the defense attorney, Tamara Walker, is going through texts by the Osundairo brothers trying to prove they’re homophobic — one used the slurs “fruit” and “gaylord.”

Things got ugly when Judge James Linn accused Walker of getting into something “collateral.”

Not just snarling faces …

It sounds like the defense has a solid case.

So far it seems Smollett’s story is that the Osundairo brothers were sophisticated criminals and also homophobes — so at least the white, MAGA-hat-wearing Trump supporters story is off the table.

Jussie Smollett’s hate crime hoax had an intended audience, according to Osundairo brother testimony

The trial for former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett on charges that he faked a hate crime in Chicago began this week. Yesterday there was some testimony that indicated the trial wasn’t going Smollett’s way. Today, one of the Osundairo brothers testified that the “attack” was staged, and he was asked who the intended audience was. The answer might not surprise you:

Well, there it is!

The media (and many politicians) ran with Smollett’s claim without waiting for all the facts because the narrative was all that mattered to them.

According to testimony, Smollett wanted the “attack” to be blamed on Trump supporters, which of course the media and Democrats were more than happy to go with:
