  • Episode 6: Sentencing Jussie - Part 1
    Mar 23 2022

    Coverage of the Sentencing Hearing for Jussie Smollett on March 10, 2022 in Chicago. The usual format of a brief appearance of the Defendant before a Judge who announces the terms and conditions of the sentence was turned into a 6-hour extravaganza of judicial theater, broadcast live for the first time ever in a Cook County Court. Investigate reporter Chelli Stanley, veteran radio journalist Kimberley Hill and host, Thomas Kelly, provide analysis and commentary and ask the hard questions---Why has a low-level Disorderly Conduct case been re-cast by some as the Crime of the Century? Is the Jussie Smollett case about justice, politics or entertainment? Listen to the "JUSSIE' podcast from reVolver wherever you enjoy podcasts.

  • Episode 5: Cross-exam
    Mar 7 2022

    In Episode 5 of JUSSIE, Investigative Reporter Chelli Stanley conducts a virtual cross-examination of the interview of Special Prosecutor Dan Webb in Episode 4 and finds several discrepancies concerning the facts of the case. Was the only eyewitness at the scene looking through a window or standing outside within 2 feet of the suspects? Was their encounter "1/10th of a second" or many seconds more?  Why didn't the police ever search for the "white male" suspect described by the eyewitness?  Were the drugs at the Osandairo brothers' home tested and confirmed as cocaine or not? Were their confessions voluntary or coerced? More doubts, more questions and more mysteries as the JUSSIE story continues on reVolver Podcast Network.

  • Episode 4: The Special Prosecutor
    Mar 6 2022

    Acclaimed Special Prosecutor Dan Webb, answers the hard questions and offers his personal comments about proper sentencing for Jussie Smollett in a rare, full-length interview.

     Why was the convincing testimony of the only eyewitness at the scene of the crime that one suspect was a "white male" largely ignored by the jury? What led police to the Osundairo brothers and why were all potential charges against them dismissed after they confessed to being participants in the "hoax" with Jussie? Should Jussie be sentenced to additional punishment in light of the severe damage already sustained---loss of millions of dollars in income from Empire, another million in legal costs, endurance of a brutal public shaming and a stellar career in shambles---all for a "disorderly conduct" conviction?

    Hear the surprising, in-depth answers from the Special Prosecutor on JUSSIE - Episode #4.

  • Episode 3: Eyewitness
    Feb 25 2022

    This dramatized episode includes a complete re-enactment of the riveting courtroom testimony of Anthony Moore, the security guard at the Chicago Sheraton who was the only eyewitness to the immediate aftermath of the "incident" in the early hours of January 29, 2019---the alleged attack on Jussie Smollett by two hooded and masked men that was either a vicious hate crime or the hoax of the century---take your pick. Anthony Moore was the only one to see the two suspects up close and personal as they ran from the scene of the crime. What Anthony Moore had to say on the stand, a story he repeated to police and special prosecutors for more than 2 years, defies the logic of the case for the prosecution and casts a pall over the conviction in the strange case of Jussie Smollett. Listen and decide for yourself.

    Feb 9 2022

    Hosted by Talk Radio Host Thomas Kelly and featuring Independent Investigative Reporter Chelli Stanley, the JUSSIE podcast reveals stunning new evidence that raises grave questions about the Chicago police investigation, the conduct of the trial and the verdict in the Jussie Smollett case. Was it a hoax or a hate crime? Is Jussie a victim or a trickster? Why were 38 detectives and a special prosecutor assigned to a minor case of “disorderly conduct”? Were the confessions coerced? Was the sole eyewitness threatened by police? What was the motive? What do the videos really show? We will do our best to answer the questions, find the facts and get to the truth of the Jussie Smollett case, whatever it may be.
