WTF!
Now I'm even more confused!
In another interesting twist, the Osundairo brothers’ lawyer released a statement saying she no longer represents them after Tuesday’s stunning reversal. According to TMZ,
she quit after the brothers would not make a public statement standing by their claim that Smollett paid them to orchestrate the attack. The timing was interesting as Smollett’s team has gone on the offensive, saying police should refocus their investigation on the brothers.

That would explain why the charges would be dropped; because there is no case
against Smollette unless these guys stick to the claim that they were paid.
