Prosecutors drop all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett
 

Holy SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Attorneys for Jussie Smollett said Tuesday that all criminal charges against the "Empire" actor and singer have been dropped. Smollett had been charged with falsifying a police report by claiming he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack.

"Today all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped and his record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him," Smollett's attorneys said in a statement. "Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify. He was a victim. He was vilified and made to appear as a perpetraitor as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public causing an inappropriate rush to judgment."

He mailed a fake anthrax letter to himself. Feds could still nail him for that. I hope he gets the counseling / therapy that he needs :2 cents:

You are lying again.

You can't stand an innocent black man that's a victim of your hate and racism. Fuck off you piece of shit fake nic hate troll you're back on block :321GFY

From 16 felony counts to zero.

Something big must have happened.

:2 cents:

:1orglaugh

BW, you're unhinged. It's hilarious!! :1orglaugh

It is strange, especially after a grand jury and alleged accomplices confessing. Going to be interesting to hear exactly what happened.
My speculation? Chicago is aware of impending federal charges and is more than willing to drop the whole shit show in their laps. Or the accomplices recanted their story ($), which would likely mean charges for them. Not sure what else it could be.

Oh look the Trump supporters insist he's guilty still :1orglaugh

Good. I think he has learned his lesson.
No need to spend any time or money punishing him for doing something stupid.
He's ruined his career. That's punishment enough. Now he needs to figure out what is next in his life

^yall just be freestyling your morals as you go

I never heard of anyone getting federal charges for a false police report.
False reporting charges are local not federal.

And what charges? If he lied about the attack being real, then there was no crime except
a false report.


:2 cents:

Jussie and Trump have a lot in common.

:1orglaugh

How do you even form thoughts like this?

No fucking way they dropped the charges because "he learned his lesson" and they want to save money.


:2 cents:

Trump has more friends going to jail though.

:2 cents:

The federal charges are for would be for the letter hoax, not filing a false police report with Chicago police. But maybe they won't charge him either. Won't know until full story comes out.

I haven't really been following this case too closely but the entire case seems to be strange...

Looks like he dealt his way out of it.

Here's what prosecutors said in a statement:

"After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case."

Obviously Trump wasn't indicted to save time and money.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I have seen zero proof that he mailed anything.

:2 cents:

They aren't talking about the "attack". They are talking about him mailing himself a threatening letter to the studio filled with white powder. THAT is a federal offense.

I never said "they" did anything.

I gave MY OPINION of the situation. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'll type it slower for ya (lol): IN MY OPINION he has learned his lesson and I am glad they dropped the charges.
It's a waste of time and money to continue on over something he did that just dumb.

He admitted it to the authorities.

Trump supporters literally make shit up and say it's true and then shake their heads back and forth when you tell them they are lying again.

But you are aware he was under federal investigation, right? I didn't say he was getting charged, I speculated Chicago knew something about impending charges. I didn't say he was guilty of a mail hoax. Don't be so defensive, brotherman.
:rainfro:rasta

he needs help.
i hope he doesn't beat himself up about this

Kim Foxx made the decision. She has the right to do so, as the elected official with purview. She may have taken a number of factors into account, such as the public nature of the matter, the disproportionate number of felonies charged, or the fact that rapists routinely get off with 2-3 year sentences while the crime of filing a false report is technically non-violent. She also may have considered that her constituency would want her to prioritize other prosecutions. Regardless, what is done is done.

The fact that the left looks at this as a win is exactly what's wrong with them.

Bottom line : People call in fake shit all the time and don't get charged.

The 16 felony counts was some ridiculous shit.

:2 cents:

Wasnt his attorney a co conspirator with Avenatti? Jussie could have flipped on him

The fact that Trump cultists claim he was still guilty after not being charged but also claim Trump not being indicted proves he's innocent is exactly what's wrong with them. :2 cents:

A Smollett family member got an Obama associate to request to Kim Foxx that she try to have the feds take over the case. She attempted it, but it was out of their jurisdiction.

That woman is terrible and an enabler of Chicago crime. She thought Chicago's gun laws were too strict (in terms of sentencing criminals) so she started dropping or lessening charges. Now thugs commit gun crimes and the gun portion of the charges is often dropped.

Police are pissed off about this. Now calling for investigation into the prosecutors.

Looks like there may be a federal investigation into these Chicago democrats...

FOP accuses Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx of interfering in Jussie Smollett investigation

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The president of the Chicago police union has sent a letter to the Justice Department alleging that Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx interfered in the police investigation of "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett.

Foxx had recused herself from the case, but Kevin Graham, Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) president, said that was insufficient and wants the feds to determine whether she broke any laws.

"That recusal is wholly insufficient. In order for Ms. Foxx to properly charge and try this case, her entire office should have recused itself and a special prosecutor been appointed," Graham said in a statement.

Smollett, who faces 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report, claims he was the victim of a hate crime in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood in January. However, police say it was a hoax and that Smollett hired two brothers to carry out the fake attack.

"BREAKING: Michael Obama knew Jussie Smollett very well and Michael’s former Chief of Staff Tina Tchen reached out to Kim Foxx about the Smollett case. This is now under investigation."

Chicago Police Furious, Want Smollett Prosecutors Investigated!

He agreed to forfeit his bond to the city, which I believe was set at 100k. Therefore I assume the attorneys agreed that 100k would cover the costs related to investigating the Smollett case.

Your brain dead if you think he didn't try to stage a hate crime. I don't care if he gets away with it. I care that retards think this is a win.
