“I’m a Black man in America and I do not trust police,” Smollett said during testimony
Ironically, former Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, a black man. is the one that saw the inconsistencies in this case and arrested Juicy for the false police report. He was adamant about prosecuting him. So it was a black police chief that didn't trust Juicy either.
Besides, what does that have to do with making up a story about an attack when the victim, assailants, and police are all black? Your blowing smoke Juicy. Game over.
