Was he searching for Nigerian street meat in the elevator? I don't want to know.

I’m sure there aren’t any cameras on the elevator and/or in the lobby.

Tbh- I've been waiting on a new Jussie story all day. I, for one, will be a little sad when this saga is over.

Apparently Mark Geragos might be representing JS. Sounds like Mark's approach is going to be to go after CPS "leaking info" to tarnish his client.

How does “the brothers are no longer suspects” fit into this story?

If they were in on the scam, shouldn’t they still be suspects?

They were initially considered suspects in the attack. Now that we know it was staged, they're no longer suspects.

Yep. State's witnesses #1 and #2 now. Or maybe 2 and 3, after the lead detective, to be more precise.

Went from suspects to cooperating witnesses. Happens all the time. Likely a deal with LEO's for lesser plea or immunity, in exchange for smoking gun against the ring leader. Or, that they were "suspects" in the commission of an alleged crime, but said crime was never committed, therefore striking down the label of suspects.

Of course Smollett was lying the whole time.

You have to keep in mind that if a liberal was faced with a situation where telling the truth would completely serve their purpose they would still lie because they enjoy it.

That's just how they are, wretched, perverted, dishonorable and gross.
