Smollett Attorney Suggests Nigerian Brothers Wore Whiteface During Attack

EXCERPT:

GUTHRIE: “OK. According to the court records, he, Smollett was very clear with police on the night of the attack that his attackers were white. He sad they had masks on and gloves but he saw their eyes and the skin surrounding their eyes. Was that a false statement?”
GLANDIAN: “So, he -- just to be clear, he only saw one of the attackers. One of them he didn’t see. He saw one through a ski mask. Again, he could not see their body. Everything was covered. And he had a full ski mask on except the area around the eyes. He did tell police that he — from what we saw, he thought it was pale skin or white or pale skin, was I think what he said. And that was what he — and that’s why he initially did have a hard time.”
GUTRIE: “Why did he say that? He could have said, I don’t know.”
GLANDIAN: “He could have. But this -- again, he’s being truthful.” [crosstalk]
GUTRIE: “But it's the Osundairo brothers, what are the chances that that’s the case, that he saw somebody with light skin?”
GLANDIAN: “Well, you know, I mean, I think there’s — obviously, you can disguise that. You can put makeup on. There is, interestingly enough, a video. You know, I think police had minimal investigation in this case, it took me only five minutes to Google. You know, I was looking up the brothers, and one of the videos that showed up actually was of the brothers in white face doing a joker monologue with white make up on him. So, it's not -- it's not implausible.”
