On Monday, The Western Journal<\/a> posted an article about the Jussie Smollett case. It seems that one of the really critical mistakes Mr. Smollett made in staging his fake hate crime was one that as an actor he should have easily avoided.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s surprising, even for a man who\u2019s spent so much of his career in front of a camera, that Jussie Smollett was upset the most infamous moment in his life wasn\u2019t caught on camera.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Was it his undoing? Would it have led to his downfall sooner? It\u2019s unclear, but prosecutors say one thing foiled Smollett\u2019s original plan to create the perfect \u201chate crime\u201d \u2014 the direction of a camera on the street.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(The Western Journal was one of the first outlets to point out the holes of the Smollett case in 2019 \u2014 and we kept fighting the system after he received little more than a slap on the wrist from prosecutors who wanted the case to go away.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In testimony last week, Chicago police Detective Kimberly Murray told the court the former \u201cEmpire\u201d actor seemed to be \u201cupset\u201d when he was told the attack hadn\u2019t been recorded on camera<\/a>, according to WMAQ-TV<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smollett, who had been questioned by Murray on the morning he reported the January 2019 incident, said two men had beat him up in a racist, homophobic attack while he was returning from a sandwich run. He\u2019s now standing trial for six counts of felony disorderly conduct after reporting what\u2019s alleged to be a hate crime hoax \u2014 one he orchestrated thinking there would be a camera there to record it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murray, according to WMAQ, \u201csaid Smollett was \u2018upset\u2019 when she told him a surveillance camera in the area didn\u2019t capture the alleged attack because it was pointed away from the scene. Murray said she explained to the actor that the cover on the pod camera makes it impossible to know which way it is pointing.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The real clue that the attack was staged was Mr. Smollett’s claim that his attackers yelled, “This is MAGA country!” No one in Chicago who values his life is going to yell that–even if he believes it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
