Report: to Face over Hoax

This had all the hallmarks of the standard and commonplace hoax we’ve become accustomed to. So on today’s show, I’ll again do the obligatory ‘at some point the media and public have to start being skeptical of these cases, right?’ segment.

On Saturday, Chicago police revealed that the focus of the investigation had “shifted.”  crime and justice reporter Shimon Prokupecz reported that authorities now believe that Smollett actually paid two men to fake the attack, both of whom were now cooperating with law enforcement.

According to law enforcement officials who spoke with TMZ, a will hear the case next week to examine its credibility. The police sources also provided details on why Smollett’s claims seemingly lacked credibility.

“The sources say there were red flags from the get-go,”  reported. “Cops were extremely suspicious when Jussie took them out to the area where he said he was attacked and pointed to an obscure camera saying how happy he was that the attack was on video. Turns out the camera was pointing in the wrong direction. Cops thought it was weird he knew the location of that camera.”
