Jussie Smollett

Probably too hard a case to win in a criminal trial. I am leaning towards he did it.

[spring_chicken]

With the abundance of evidence, I don't see how anyone could believe he didn't do it.

Celebrity (if he is????) or lawyers....... they use, abuse and hide behind the law at their convenience (and size of check book)!!!

Smollet is the current figurehead for so many current issues.
Out comes equal justice under the law-depending on wealth, race,
sexual orientation and who you know.
Will be interesting to follow. Will it be buried? Will it drag on long enough for most of us, including me, to loose interest. Claimed nonpolitical-HUH???????????????

It is a sad state of affairs of the tolerance and abuse of the current environment in the USA.

Social media facilitates flaunting the abuse in the faces of America.

The silent majority is now out weighed by those who no longer support America's core values!!

First of all, I will not even try to defend whatever this guy did.....I do not know the details, but I know enough to know that I could never speak in a positive way about him or his notions.

Having said that......can you be more specific as to what "issue" that he is the figure head for and even if you simply direct me to a link where that is apparent.....thanks

I read a lot and have not seen one word in his defense....seen defense of some things said that were a bit..."out there", but would love to iddntify what groups use him as a figure head.

Thanks

I know nothing about him, I'm just grateful that we still get tried by jury and not by poll in this country.

[graciegirl]

He is guilty as hell and he still hasn't been fired from that show. Funny isn't it? I doubt he will beat himself up over it. (That didn't work)

I would agree, however considering how social media spreads truth and lies mixed together as "drama" I don't know how anyone can expect an unbiased jury these days.

He will be Time Magazine Person of the Year for 2019.

I try not to judge people, but he surely no matter has offended me with whatever he has done, BUT....

My on going question is to the poster and others who say he is a "figurehead" or "idol" or whatever term. THAT would be offensive for sure and want to know who they are. I have only seen one source for such accusations and wondering why that seems to be a ATRUTH to a poster, because that source is not reliable to me at all.

I believe in the LAW, thus that is what I follow and nothing else.

As I said I am shocked that somebody is using him as a "figurehead" as stated in post by THETRUTH, and I agree with ANINJAMOM that a trial would satisfy me.

So if you know who is passing him off as this figurehead or idol, or whatever, please pass it on.

I have always maintained that no accusations should ever be made without also supplying facts to back them up.

Thanks to anyone who responds

I received a PM in response to my questions, NOT LINKS or proof of statements but it appears the rationale on this issue is NOT THE LAW, but other cultural issues.

"With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor, but by knowledge the righteous are delivered."

Proverbs 11:9

"Do not hastily bring into court, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbor puts you to shame?"

Proverbs 25:8

It appears that some JUDGE and need no facts, and the PM I received left no doubt about his current event stance.

I am out of this conversation thus you can attack anyone you want...

I only requested validation for a comment and received a manifesto which I do not want

That is awful somebody sent a PM with that content.

The story does strain credulity, but in the end it's just sad on so many levels and I try not to dwell on sad things. Best to move on. It doesn't affect me one way or the other. There wasn't a poll choice for that.
