Serves him right!

Smollett’s lawyer doesn’t think so. He actually had the nerve to go on TV and accuse the media of gang-banging his client. Yes, really.

“What is happening here is, frankly, a media gangbang of this guy of unprecedented proportions,” Geragos said. ”That’s the reason I got into this. I’ve never seen a media pendulum swing more quickly and more viciously and rob somebody of their presumption of innocence like this case has. It’s startling the way people assume he’s guilty.”

Is he serious? I think he’s serious.

“This is my question: What do they have that corroborates the story? These are the two people that did it. What do they have besides their word that says he was in on this?” – Mark Geragos, Jussie Smollett’s attorney, on the brothers involved in the case https://t.co/k3SlsXX86u pic.twitter.com/AxsNKHP99X
