Jussie Smollett awaits verdict as jurors consider case

Jurors have resumed deliberations in the trial of Jussie Smollett. The former “Empire” actor is charged with orchestrating a fake attack on himself, then lying to Chicago police about being the victim of an anti-gay, racist hate crime.

The verdict should take about ten minutes for anyone with common sense .

Even Stevie Wonder Could See this guy's guilty

[johnsauseda]

Guilty on all counts !!! Can’t wait to see him cuffed and walked out . His defense team is a total joke

[glockdude]

Dude was literally trying to start a race war.

[Bluemax]

His crime against our society is abhorrent.

He better not get away with this. If he does, this crap will continue over and over.

[truthseeker]

Community service should entail cleaning up after black lives matter destructions.

[lindenblvd]

he said his attackers were white, that was wrong. He said the attack was based on homophobia but he claimed he had a sexual relationship with one of them lol. They need to make up their mind about what the truth is.

[cakesaregood]

So he costs the city/state several hundred thousand dollars and probation/community service are his presumed punishment? 2 or 3 years in prison might adjust his entitled attitude.

There’s no pity to have for Jussie Smollett. He knows what he did. He knows he’s lying and he doesn’t care. He sees his lies as an acting rehearsal rather than a moral failure.

[randyosborne]

Everytime someone of selfpity imagines they are a victim. They selfishly create an imaginative villian. Because you can't have a victim without a villian.

[keepingitreal]

Certainly most of the jurors think he's guilty so the only reason it would take any more time than end of business day is because you have one or two jurors. holding out.

Fake hate crime..fake robbery..perjury..adds up to jail time

[joshualei]

Jussie claims the brothers are certified liars 😂😂

[quezbot]

That man could have started a race riot where people get hurt or killed, stores get broken into and robbed and police resources misused.
The fucked up part is that we all know that all he is going to get is a slap on the wrist.

[patriots]

Juicy he’s the only certified lier here

[cheechalker]

What is most offensive, IMO, is how Juicy assumed every black persona and every gay person would automatically take his side
What is even more insulting is those black and gay people who are still defending Juicu in light of all the evidence which points to his guilt
Do these people think Juicy would support them for one second if they are in trouble?
Not a chance.
For Juicy, it’s all about Juicy

[boocraft]

Juicy is suffering from main character syndrome 😞

This might be the first time his character receives any form of punishment in his entire privileged rich life

[corineabelle]

Juicy's the Villain that made himself "the victim".
