Jussie Smollett Hires Defense Attorney

[Vasquezrocks]

Maybe Smollett can share his attorney with West Hollywood mayor John Duran who is facing multiple allegations of sexual assault.
They can both share a cell.

And they would have fun ...

So, now the FBI is involved as a result of the phony letter with the MAGA return address.
Annnnnnnnnnnnd...he was sentenced to 24 months probation for DUI & lying to police a few years ago.
Clearly he has some mental issues.

As the police investigation into the alleged attack against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett continues, it was revealed Tuesday that in 2007 Smollett pleaded no contest to DUI, driving without a license and providing false information to law enforcement, the L.A. City Attorney's office confirmed to NBC News.

This letter was sent to his studio days before the attack, maybe that's where the MAGA business came from. I hope by posting this pic I don't send the board haters into a frenzy of accusations that Smollett created it.

Shazam, just what I predicted!

You were saying? Lol.

This story checks so many different boxes that it's going to continue to draw national attention. It's now being reported that the police have released the two Nigerian men without charges (at least yet) and that Mr. Smollett has hired Chicago defense attorney Michael Monico who is considered one of the best in the country. I'm probably missing something here but on the surface if you're the victim I don't see why you need a defense attorney.

I'm sure they'll be additional information to come.

Jussie has hired a defense attorney cos the police charged him with something. Last time I checked, EVERY American is entitled to a fair trial and that means having someone DEFEND them in court.

Just ask trump. He's had so many fucking law suits against him , he has lawyers on speed dial. Oh except Michael Cohen of course. Cohen is going to jail for a long time. Not as long as Manafort or Flynn though.

You're are such an uniformed idiot; because he hired his defense lawyer, BEFORE he was even charged or it was even being considered to charge him.

He did it; because he saw the writing on the wall and knew his pathetic attempt at attention was failing.

NN host Don Lemon said Wednesday it wasn't "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett's fault that he had already lost in the "court of public opinion" for his handling of the weeks since he claimed he was attacked in a hate crime.

Rather, Lemon said, after he and his panel assessed the legal troubles Smollett is in following his arrest for disorderly conduct in filing a false police report, it seemed the actor had gotten poor advice.

"In the court of public opinion, Jussie has lost," Lemon said. "He's lost the fight in the court of public opinion, and that's where his battle is. Legally … if it's jail time, if he has to do probation, if he has to pay whatever, but in the court of public opinion—"

"It matters," CNN legal analyst Joey Jackson said.

"It matters," Lemon said. "And he lost that because of how—and not his fault—but maybe people were, I don't know what they were saying to him, maybe because of his representatives, who knows? But it was handled poorly."

"I don't know if it's not his fault, Don," Jackson said. "He went out and he gave the interview."
