Posted by JayZeeBMT on Fri Feb 1 10:25:55 2019, in response to Chicago police say 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett refuses to hand over cellphone to them, posted by DanD124 on Fri Feb 1 10:07:16 2019. Smollett has said he will make the call records available to the police. I wouldn't want the cops rifling through my phone if I were a big celebrity--and a gay one at that--either. The police don't need his phone to get a call history. They can go to his provider, ping the tower, etc. Plus, it can take weeks to get your stuff back from the cops. Plenty of time for an unscrupulous cop looking to make a quick buck to leak sensitive or proprietary info from the phone to the media. A forensic search of Smollett's phone is not necessary to establish that a call was made at a given time.I honestly don't get why some people are so desperate to make this incident a hoax. Everything Smollett has told the police so far, has been borne out. There is footage of him taking the route he said he did, footage of him at Subway, a minute or so where he is outside of surveillance video coverage, then video of him returning with road salt all over him and a rope around his neck. A woman in his building reported two shifty white guys loitering near the entrance before the attack, one of whom had a rope dangling from his pocket. It strains credulity to the point of absurdity, to think Smollett knew the one Gap in video coverage over the entirety of the city of Chicago, where he could presumably roll around in the dirt, crack his own rib, mess up his face (which, incidentally, is his paycheck) and hang a noose around his neck. Again, if it were to come out that this is all a lie, Smollett's career is dead, burned, and buried, plus he risks jail for falsely reporting an incident. Some people want this to be Tawana Brawley part 2 so badly, it is sickening. |
