So he literally bought his way out of jail? Gay black privilege?

Yeah but he only put up 10k so that was all he really lost.

So, what happens to the guys who told the police it was a hoax? They lied to police, right? Since evidently it was a real attack?

If that's not the case, then someone is just letting this guy off because he donated his bond and the charges were excessive?

Which is it?

While I don't buy it one bit, supposedly Rahm is even pissed...

His defense attorneys are claiming he did "community service" prior in some unrelated way as "penalty"

The only "prior community service" that gets you out of 16 felony accounts is blowing off a "prior" President in the White House.

Not exactly. Bail Bond companies charge an upfront service fee of 10-15% of the bond amount. Likely the 10k is what originally Smollett paid the bondsmen.

The bondsmen essentially have a line of credit via a bond policy they maintain. Receiving their service fee from Smollett they execute paperwork with the court, assuring Smollett will appear in court. If Smollett doesn't appear, it causes the bondsmen to then pay the court the 100k.

The 100k bond is paid up directly by Smollett or through the bondsmen, which Smollett would need to immediately reimburse.

You're taking his innocence in a very difficult way :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Let them believe whatever makes them feel like they've won something. Who cares? Black dude fakes a hate crime and somehow this is "bad for Trump" when the DA lets him walk as the police and mayor sit by pissed as hell? I don't think so. :winkwink:

He would owe that if he skipped town and didn't show up, but i would assume that's not the case since it got dismissed.

That means he only gave them $10,000 not $100,000
Bond is only 10% of whatever a judge sets it at. Then if you don't show up...you pay the whole amount.

Chicago PD Superintendent Eddie Johnson, Rahm Emanuel call Jussie Smollett charges being dropped 'whitewash of justice'

50 fakes that didn't get faked.

The bail bond company posted/provided the court the 100k guarantee (a document and not the actually cash), and typically it is the bail bond company that would be first required to pay the 100k to the court in the event that Smollett didn't make his appearances. Remember the bail bond company is the guarantor.

Based on what the media is reporting, the case was dismissed on the condition, Smollett agrees to forfeits his bail (which is 100k). In the announcement they (the media) didn't refer to forfeiture of the bail company's service fee (which is 10k).

Robbie, I didn't follow this story closely, and I certainly didnt research everything related to it. I presume he gave the 10k to the bail bond company.
And ... its bad enough one can buy itself out of a bad situation one put themselves into, but, I should hope that the city took 100k for reimbursement on costs, and not a mere 10k.

The news said it was only 10k. 100k they would have specified that. I could be wrong but I doubt he paid 100k.

I'm going by the press conference from the mayor, police chief, and superintendent where they said that "ten thousand dollars" didn't even begin to reimburse the city.

Why are Trump supporters so angry that a Gay black actor is innocent of all charges?

Problem is she just pissed off the Mayor and Chief of police by doing so. That his $10,000 and community service he already did somehow pays for the hundreds of thousands of dollars that have been spent by the city on the case isn't sitting well with them. Not to mention his abuse of hate crime laws and now having tainted it for others who are actually victims going forward...

Yeah Jussie's lawyer told him about his extortion case he had going on, I know my lawyers like to blab to me about their crimes all the time...

Well , he has been EXONORATED ..... , !!!

Who the hell is Michael Obama? You can't even copy and paste fake headlines right?

It was 10K, The mayor of Chicago himself said that in his press conference. He looked disgusted by this whole thing

^ this, Ill take the word of the Mayor over anyone else.

:1orglaugh

Where did you get innocent from?

Same logic as for Trump ?????

No he got it right. You're looking for Mike Obama?

Right here.
