Jussie "MAGA Country" Smollett
-
Jussie’s lawyers are still trying to convince us that he’s the real victim. This might be the first time I’ve ever heard somebody call the cops accusing somebody (Trump supporters, no less) that they were a victim of a racist homophobic attack and then had lawyers complain that the cops investigated the assault too thoroughly.
Jussie Smollett lawyers: Even if actor faked attack, it was cops’ call to investigate it so vigorously
SNEED EXCLUSIVE: The ex-”Empire’’ actor’s latest court filing, while not admitting he staged the incident, pins the decision to spend so much time and resources investigating squarely on law enforcement.
[...]
[T]he latest court filing contends even if Smollett did make a false report, there is no way the city can assert he would have known the city would investigate — and investigate it to the extent cops did.
“We contend the city is wrong,” Quinlan said of the city’s assertion that Smollett should have known the police would log nearly 2,000 hours in overtime trying to resolve the case. “ ... The mere fact somebody filed a police report doesn’t presume the investigation will be done and certainly not to the extent of what the city is claiming.”

They are a credit to their profession, maintaining a straight face while presenting a pathetic case like that can’t be easy

Well I'm sure as an extremely preachy young gay highly paid actor there will be nothing humiliating or illegal to come out here.

@Rembrandt i wonder what happens if evidence uncovers naughty actions of others that are unrelated to the case? Given his evident stupidity I can't imagine him being overly discreet about things!

All your data?
As much as I want to see Juicy scapegoated as a message, is this a one of those times where the principle of privacy outweighs the schadenfruede?
Having the law pore through your life seems a bit over the top, whatever the charge.
We've all accepted our online life can be seen by others and there is no genuine privacy but have we seen the potential real life repercussions of all our stored data, and in this case, at the whim of a judge.
Stinks a bit, to me. He lied and carried on like a pork chop - convict him on that.

Absolutely, the guys a piece of shit but being able to access that data seems like over reach. Unless the warrant is specific for searches related to the hoax.
So much is going to leak.

I think the new EU rules mean you can request companies provide you with all the data they have on you.. but unsure if that includes all historic activity and/or data. California just enacted some new law also - have seen references to it come up on some IT helpdesk software we use.

State attorney Kim Fox is also having to lawyer up..a year worth of data is harsh but then I think of the threshold of his crime. He tried to start a race war for both personal and political gain..and he then double downed on it when mainstream outlets lapped it up...and then the charges basically disappeared after what appears to be potentially high-level political interference/corruption.
I think this meets the threshold for the data request. Might be a lot more to this yet.
