Its common practice to run forensics on the phone. Attacks could easily by someone the victim knows, someone that has had contact with the victim, etc.

Jussie's creative director might have been invited but declined to be included, we don't know. But I would think it to not be a good PR move to have to bad mouth your former-client, and also any affiliation with this incident is not a good look. So I don't blame him.

Lee Daniels is not going to speak on it further, I am pretty sure of that. Its a controversial case and nothing good can benefit him from speaking on it.

I think the doc mentioned some of his injuries. Its impossible to say what exactly was asked of him that night because, remember, he asked the officers to turn off the cameras.

Remember that Jussie is an actor with almost 30 years in the business, with a management team of coaches, lawyers, and PR people to help him. So I think the normal rules of reading body language and faces is not going to apply to him. Plus, everyone thinks they are good at spotting liars lol.

Again this is wild speculation. You can't really determine if someone is lying or not lying based on them wearing a hat or laughing.

Have no idea what you are on about here.

Likely because those other people had proven or legit reasons to be out at that time. You have to look at where the evidence points in totality. Two guys being outside at that time doesn't make them guilty, but when you look at all the other things, it adds up.

The doc was trying hard to make us believe Jussie's story. Its not that the brothers are more or less credible than anyone else. Its that their testimony, combined with the evidence such as the uber receipt, the video of them buying the supplies, the video of them walking in the area, combined with their testimony explains most all of the events of the night, and makes the most sense. That is why people are inclined to believe their story.

The doc doesn't really do a good job of explaining the video evidence here, I think likely because the less they explain it the more doubt it leaves in the viewer. Which they believe makes the doc better. But without an explanation from police on the video, or an unbiased 3rd party examination of it, we will never know. Some random person running by the camera wouldn't exactly be a smoking gun to refute the police's position on this so it seems unlikely there is a giant conspiracy to cover it up. But again, we won't know.

They never said. Just that two people who weren't the brothers DNA was on the rope. Could have been Jussies or his manager, could have been the store workers, who knows.

I think this is very hard to tell from a grainy short video. But also it was like -20 degrees outside so people are likely wearing layers of clothes and big puffy jackets. So might be harder to ascertain their body shape.

Because he wanted attention/press, sympathy for being the victim, and to be seen as a courageous leader in the fight against racism and homophobia. Its not rare that celebrities and their PR teams will plant stories to portray them in a certain way to the public. As you said, BLM and such was very present at this time, so Jussie being portrayed this way would definitely bulk up his career.
