Steve K. @Stevebkelly Nov 18 Felt like a paid piece to jump start Jessie’s career. Nothing of their support for Jessie’s innocence seems remotely believable See more ORLY J Nov 6 Empty calorie conspiracy theory documentaries, like this one, can be entertaining when you don't care about the truth of the incident in question. Like if it's in a far away country, etc. But this is hard to watch as an American concerned with the country possibly just coming apart. We really don't need more lies about racially charged incidents. Smollett made up the story, that's about as clear as anything can be. It's not the end of the world, he didn't commit the crime of the century, but the 'reasonable doubt' this documentary tried to create with selective presentation and innuendo just doesn't exist. See more Emilio C Nov 6 I hesitated to watch this documentary because I thought I knew the story. Actor stages a confrontation with two men who are supposed to be white MAGA supporters in order to gain publicity for himself. That's not what this is. Instead, it is an investigation into the whole affair and raises questions about the narrative the world has been told. The filmmakers do a good job of highlighting the inconsistency in the police narrative. There were two witnesses who claimed to have seen two white males and not the two brothers from Nigeria. There is missing surveillance footage. There is footage that appears to imply that police had made a deal with Ola and Abimbola Osundairo. One of the brothers was on probation and not allowed to be in possession of weapons. Yet, when police raided their apartment, they found numerous weapons. That fact alone makes both men susceptible to police persuasion. And there is Jussie Smollett himself continuing to claim his innocence. The evidence that police pressured the brothers to lie about the whole ordeal is strong. Just watch the expression of one of the brothers when a detective says that no one has pressured them. Watch the reaction of the detectives when shown surveillance video of two men who are definitely not the brothers. I would be all in on Jussie's innocence but for two facts that are hard to explain away.

That’s the Illinois Supreme Court folks. This is a good documentary. It gave every single person a chance to air their side of the story. To me, Mr. Smollett comes off as consistent, focused and unwavering. And when was the last time anybody said those kind of things about the Chicago Police Department unless it was about covering their butts?
