Prosecutor Dan Webb lays out 6 points he says 'destroy' Jussie Smollett's case

Special prosecutor Dan Webb continued his closing argument on Monday by laying out six key pieces of evidence that he believes “destroy” Jussie Smollett’s defense.

In recapping what he already ran the jury through at trial, Webb summarized the case Wednesday in just six easy points for the jury to consider when they go into deliberations either later today or tomorrow:

1. Smollett allegedly withheld evidence from the police such as DNA evidence, medical records and his phone records. Webb believes this is because he didn’t want the crime to be solved.

2. Smollett actively attempted to mislead the police by saying that his attackers were White or “pale-skinned” when the Osundairo brothers are dark-skinned Black men from Nigeria.

3. Smollett faked evidence by seemingly adjusting the rope that his attackers allegedly put around his neck to look tighter when speaking with police. Webb showed an image of the rope looking tighter in his interview with the police. Smollett previously testified that he took the rope off but put it back on when he realized it was important evidence that he shouldn’t have tampered with.

4. The Osundairo brothers could not possibly have known where Smollett was without him telling them his location. Smollett says he was out at 2 a.m. that night to get eggs to keep up with a diet plan but the store was closed. So, he grabbed a Subway sandwich and walked home where he was attacked. Webb went over Instagram messages with Abel Osundairo while Smollett was on the stand Tuesday to try to prove that he was communicating his position.

5. Smollett did not have serious injuries stemming from the attack. That is in keeping with what the Osundairo brothers testified. They say Smollett told them not to hurt him too badly.

6. Smollett never signed a criminal complaint against the brothers. Instead, he sent Abel a text message after it came to light the brothers had been arrested in which he said he didn’t believe they did anything wrong and stood with them. Webb alleges that this was the actor’s way of telling them he’d protect them.

Smollett has an OJ jury. There will be no conviction regardless of the evidence.

Doesn’t the prosecution get the last word after the defense?

I think the jury is deliberating already and I doubt it will take long.

Smollett has a good lawyer who is claiming the prosecution’s case is falling like a house of cards by his arguments.

He was going to blame any 2 white guys the cops brought in. Never forget that. he went to a lineup and did not ID the two black guys (his buddies) who actually did it. And he 100% knew they did it. what if some white guys had been in the line up. Bingo, they did it. Lives destroyed. Narrative maintained. Next.

I saw a portion of the interview he gave to that grieving, fawning Robin Roberts and I wanted to reach thru my TV and whack her upsida her head!

She has yet to apologize for that disgusting display.

There must be a precise word that describes those people who think they are very smart and clever, but are actually dumb as rocks - and don’t know it.

Probably long enough to get the cards out and start playing euchre for the rest of the day.

Jussie Smollett is guilty as sin, but he doesn’t have a case that needs to be destroyed.

The prosecutor has to make the case.

Smollett is innocent until proven guilty under the law.
