Jussie Smollett - "Police may have overstated."

“Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson may have also gone too far when he said Jussie paid the brothers $3,500 to stage the attack. TMZ reports they “obtained documents that on the surface back his claim the $3,500 check he wrote to Abel was for training. The check was written to Abel on January 23, 2019, six days before the ‘attack.’ “

I wonder what else the police “overstated.” I somehow doubt the media is going to go as wild over subsequent findings in this case.
