Jussie Smollett “Feels Betrayed” After $100K Bail Hearing; Says He’s Innocent
https://deadline.com/2019/02/jus…
“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.

- Does he not get a trial? Even if the people he hired did confess?omahadesigns
- of course he does, but he wants to win in trial to avoid jail time, and you don't do that by admitting you did it!monNom
