The video appears to show Smollett walking to an elevator and throwing something into a trash can before leaving the building. What appears to be a white rope could be seen around his neck.
Police say that this video is from just prior to when Smollett alleges the attack occurred.
You thinking that this is the game plan behind all of the recent releases? Dirty smart manipulation of the justice system if true...aggiehawg said:
This guy is never going to be tried in a court of law. Not with this amount of publicity of the actual evidence.
I'd be satisfied If Kim Foxx and the DA's office gets its comeuppanceaggiehawg said:

Jussie Smollett is steadfast on clearing his name of allegations he staged an elaborate hate crime against himself and wants the lawsuit that the city of Chicago filed against him moved from state court to federal court.
The motion filed Wednesday and released to the media by Smollett's representatives comes after the city sued the actor in April for the cost of investigating his allegations that he was a victim of a racist and anti-gay attack in downtown Chicago.
Prosecutors dismissed charges against Smollett related to making a false report. However, the Police Department and city officials maintain Smollett orchestrated the January incident and they're trying to recoup $130,000 the city spent on police overtime.
In June, the Police Department released a trove of evidence gathered during the course of their investigation into Smollett's claims and surveillance video obtained by Fox News on Tuesday appears to the embattled actor and the two Osundairo brothers whom police insisted the actor paid to pretend to beat him walking around the vicinity of the alleged attack perhaps mere minutes before it happened, according to police notes.
Smollett's attorneys argue federal court is the proper venue for the case because the actor, who lived in Chicago while filming the TV show, "Empire," is actually a California resident.
LOL. Good luck with that.Quote:

Jussie Smollett's lawyers filed a motion on Friday to overturn the appointment of a special prosecutor in his hate crime hoax case, arguing the appointment would expose the "Empire" actor to double jeopardy.
Smollett is seeking to reverse an order issued last month by Judge Michael Toomin, who faulted Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx for failing to recuse her office from the hot-button case.
.....
In a motion for reconsideration filed on Friday, Smollett's attorney Tina Glandian pushed back on the order, challenging Toomin's apparent conclusion that Smollett is guilty. She argued that the two men -- Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo -- attacked Smollett, and then blamed him once they were caught.
"Other than the Osundairo brothers' self-serving statements which resulted in their release from custody with no criminal charges filed against them, not a single piece of evidence independently corroborates their claim that the attack was a hoax," Glandian argued.
She floated the idea that the brothers were motivated by homophobia, citing text messages in which Olabinjo referred disparagingly to another man as a "fruit."
Glandian also argued that the judge erred by appointing a special prosecutor, saying that Foxx was within her rights to turn over the case to her top assistant. Even if the recusal were mishandled, she argued, the state should not get a "do-over" once a court has agreed to dismiss the charges......
From the OP some 100+ pages ago. Jussie's story has really, uhm.... "evolved" from the white Trump MAGA country attackers, has it not? Now they're black Nigerian homophobes that he knew well enough to write $3500 checks to.Quote:
Sources close to the singer told TMZ that both of the men were white and yelled that 'this is MAGA country.'

Consistency isn't this guy's strong suit.

"It's become abundantly clear that no one wants to actually deal with the merits of this case," Glandian said. "Nobody really wants the truth here....We are disappointed with the court's ruling and we're going to explore our options."

A Chicago judge appointed a special prosecutor on Friday morning to lead the investigation into the handling of the Jussie Smollett case
Cook County Judge Michael Toomin appointed former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb to the position to investigate the way the case was handled specifically, why the 16 criminal charges against Smollett were dropped and to potentially reinstate the charges or even add additional charges against Smollett.
"Webb gained prominence for his lead role during the Operation Greylord investigations into judicial corruption in Cook County," Fox 32 reported. "He served as special counsel in the Iran-Contra affair and was previously appointed by Judge Toomin in the death of David Koschman."
Webb told reporters on Friday: "I don't know where this case is going. The facts will take me where they take me."
Toomin ruled that a special prosecutor was needed in the case because "Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx had no authority to hand [the case] off to her top deputy after announcing she recused herself," CBS News Chicago reported.
