This documentary does a great job depicting how fast public opinion can change. I don't know if Jussie Smollett lied or not. He shouldn't have been convicted in the first place since he made a deal and for some reason it was disregarded. AND there wasn't enough evidence to convict him beyond a resonable doubt. Where were the forensics? Why were the eye witness accounts ignored? But then there is evidence of the brothers buying gear. So it doesn't add up. Im not convinced either way and i'm probably the only one who does not have a strong opinion about this.
