Not relevant. Case ended.
Irrelevant. The case was dismissed. A new special prosecutor and trial should never had taken place afterwards since it was based solely on public pressure aka lynch mob aka witch hunt.
All art is business including movies (show business), music, novels and paintings since artists sell their product to an interested buyer(s).
Movies used to be better than TV, but with its reliance on formulaic movie franchises the quality has went down. Cable and streaming series are very good like Succession, Reservation Dogs, Queen Charlotte, Roots (original), All in the Family, early seasons of Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. Marty was great and lessons from Twilight Zone.
TV allows the characters to develop and story to slowly unfold. Succession was an excellent example of this. Ditto Queen Charlotte which is also beautiful to watch (costumes, architecture, landscapes). Original Roots, Shogun and Thorn Birds were very emotional.
Everything done after Smollet met conditions of the deal with the D.A. was dismissed as per the Illinois Supreme Court.
Reservation Dogs - final season.
I'm going to miss the characters and quirky storylines.

"Israel must exist in order for Judaism to exist."
That's nonsense! The first Israelis were atheist commies who attempted to redefine being Jewish as an ethnic group instead of religion.
You're confusing an extremist nationalist political ideology (Zionism) with a religion (Judaism). Not the same.
Israel's government has been actively killing Israeli hostages. They don't care about them or they would've negotiated for their release.
Sheen is too old to play a kid. But, I agree that he is very talented.
Parents are always looking for movies to take their children. Wicked is a family movie with more broad appeal than Gladiator II.
That was funny! Sorry Tom.

Your memory is faulty since that's NOT what I wrote. You're likely projecting your own twisted narrow-minded thoughts onto me.
Careful what you wish for! Meanwhile, I've bought plenty of popcorn for the schadenfreude show when Trumpites get what they deserve.
He never "got off". He paid a fine and did community service.
Neither have I heard of this guy before the story broke. I was just curious about the anger this case generated.
If you catch up, ask why were the two attackers never charged? What did they have to do or say not to be charged? IMHO, basing the entire case on the testimony of his attackers appears questionable to me. All the other "evidence" like wanting to buy a sandwich at a 24/7 open fast-food restaurant appear weak to me.
I have plenty of reasonable doubt.
Exactly!
You mean BELIEVES based on bias news reporting similar to the the Central Park Five and Richard Jewell cases.
You're (plural) driven by emotion. That's what I'm saying.
I believe the two brothers are definitely guilty.
Illinois Supreme Court disagrees with you and dismissed the case against Smollet. They are objective. I'm objective. You're overly emotional.
Give it a rest.
That's true. And let's not forget that in many states it's illegal to boycott Israeli products as a protest against their racist regime. Boycotting is what helped end apartheid in South Africa.
Government contractors must also sign a document saying they won't boycott Israel in many states where they want to do business. Completely unconstitutional.
AIPAC spent $8.5 million to defeat her and support her opposition. AIPAC spent $19 million defeating another congressman who spoke out the genocide, too.
