Prosecutors applaud Smollett guilty verdict, defense attorneys plan to appeal

While Smollett did not address the media following his conviction, reporters heard from attorneys on both sides.

It’s sickening that he won’t admit his obvious guilt. Where is CNN, MSNBC, ABC etc??? Virtually zero coverage on this.

[bauleo]

If he appeals and wastes more tax dollars, hope he gets heavier penalty

[guapodel]

He faked a crime then blamed it because he goes “hard” on 45. The fact that he thought he was that impactful that the world would believe his little tweets about “45” would warrant this reaction. 100% of Hollywood was also going “hard” on him. What an ego.

His defense closing statement was “ do you think my client is dumb enough to fake” ... yes, yes we do

When asked for comment, Jussie Smollet angrily yelled "This is MAGA country!" before punching himself in the face

[vidzzqueen]

And he is still lying. Still thinks he is innocent. LOCK HIM UP👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

See the way juicy and his entourage walk everywhere with arms locked. After the verdict was read he and his group all got up, did their silly performance of getting arm in arm then proceeded to try and run like that. They ran through the courtroom and tried to exit the doors in one group all stuck against one another. That was hilarious. Just like all his other bad acting.

Ok, he most likely won't get jailX, but shouldn't he have 2 pay the city back 4 man-hr's, & X officials had 2 waste on this trash ????

[jeffosborne]

Got to give it up to the prosecutor. Good job for your city. Was starting to give up on the justice system. No room for hate and racist acts like this.

[chitonyc]

His attorneys maintained he’s innocent and will appeal. Wow. Dude better not waste peoples time and energy. No judge will grant an appeal on this case.

[cakesaregood]

2 years in prison might adjust his entitled attitude.

[kha]

Please appeal and appeal and appeal, I love this case, keep digging a hole deeper until you reach hell.

[KayJay]

Lmao his only chance of appeal in an insanity plea.
I'd buy it.

[flashman]

Maybe BLM should show some support for julian assange a true voice for people all over the world

[phill]

Mollets solicitor can't even string a sentance together

[mikemaresca]

Plan to appeal? This guy will NEVER learn!!!

[TheTriplelman]

GUILTY!! - Poor Juicy, ya think he'll beat himself up over the verdict?

[humanoidphenomnon]

Hhmmm no trans crowds supporting him. Your silence is deafening.

[chefgipson]

Yeah they had the right Prosecutor. Yes they did.... that's a real old school was some clown ass shit !!! Thanks DAN WEB
