Last week actor Jussie Smollett's felony disorderly conduct conviction for staging a hate-crime hoax in Chicago was overturned on appeal [click here if you missed that].
The Osundrio brothers, who admitted helping Jussie stage the crime [click here if you missed that], can't believe he's sticking with his story...
From TMZ
The Osundairo brothers -- the two men who helped Jussie Smollett stage his hate crime hoax -- say they were taken aback ... not by his conviction being overturned, but because he never copped to what he did.
Abel and Ola sat down for an interview on "Fox & Friends" Friday morning ... and, they were asked about their thoughts on the Illinois State Supreme Court throwing out Jussie's conviction.
The two bros say they were taken by surprise initially ... 'cause, even though they understand Jussie has due process rights, he never actually admitted to his role in the hate crime hoax.
The Osundairos say the real injustice in this case is the "sweetheart" deal State's Attorney Kim Foxx gave Jussie ... forfeiture of $10K in bail and 15 hours of community service.
Abel and Ola say a regular Joe Schmoe -- like themselves -- never would've got the deal Jussie got ... arguing his influence and power tipped the scales in his favor.
Jussie and the brothers haven't spoken since the incident went down ... and Ola says Jussie owes the two $500 -- though Abel's quick to say they didn't attack Jussie just for the cash. The Osundairos were arrested in 2019 in relation to the staged hate-crime attack, but were not charged.
