#6  Thank you Commish and hearing judge for spouting off your condemnations before the defendant has gone to trial. Technically the lynching of Smolette took place today!

Jussie Smollett “Feels Betrayed” After $100K Bail Hearing; Says He’s Innocent

“Mr. Smollet is a young man of impeccable character and integrity who fiercely and solemnly maintains his innocence and feels betrayed by a system that apparently wants to skip due process and proceed directly to sentencing,” read a statement sent out late Thursday on behalf of the Empire actor.

“Today we witnessed an organized law enforcement spectacle that has no place in the American legal system,” the hyperbolic statement added. “The presumption of innocence, a bedrock in the search for justice, was trampled upon at the expense of Mr. Smollett and notably, on the eve of a Mayoral election,” it also noted, tossing more political edge into an already sharply political affair.

#1  Thank you Commish and hearing judge for spouting off your condemnations before the defendant has gone to trial. Technically the lynching of Smolette took place today! All he had to do was keep his mouth shut which he did while you just gave his lawyers every thing they need to show an appeals court tremendous bias to keep him scott free!

The only thing not at a total loss is the FBI letter sending investigation, which may end up lacking sufficient evidence. The dude is gonna walk!
