Crime All charges dropped against Jussie Smollett

Said this from the start, that the Chicago prosecutors, being supremely corrupt, wouldn’t press the charges and would negotiate a wrist slap. The real problem for Smollett was-and-is the federal charges. That’s where he fucked himself, by using the US mail, because the federal prosecutors aren’t going to be nearly as concerned with sweeping everything under a rug.
 
I don’t care about the charges being dropped really. I was surprised they filed in the first place. Usually when people make false reports the case just dies and on to the next call.

Lucky for him though especially considering his main attorney Geragos just got named as an in-indicted co-conspirator for that Avennti stuff

The dude was ready to send two innocent white guys to jail for hate crimes. 20 plus years in jail.

Tell me who is the real oppressor
 
More realistically, I would bet it has more to do with the charges not being worth the circus and the amount of press work and cat wrangling that the proceedings would require. The national public clearly wants the guy to be made an example of, but the prosecutor's office probably doesn't feel it should be on them to doll it out on their dime. That's just my guess.

I mean, prosecutor's office already was trying to get get the police to stop their investigation before the charges even flipped to Jussie being the suspect after Illinois' state attorney was talking to Smollett's family as a favor to Michelle Obama's old staff manager (probably just an Obama name drop by coincidence due to dem connected folk overlapping in Chicago)

Prosecution office even after she recused herself was more than happy to drop the charges I'm sure.

He will fuck up again. Orchestrating this attack, the bullshit on the talk shows, his friends openly and vehemently supporting him. It's like he is enabled and emotionally unstable enough to do something dumb in the not to distance future.

We can only hope so
 
I don't think that's quite the same. There would never have been anyone that could have been found guilty of the attacks because there wouldn't have been any evidence. This isn't like that girl that ruined that guy's Football career because she falsely accused him of rape.

Not necessarily. If two random unlucky white guys happened to actually be walking in that area they could have been drawn in and had their names wrecked for awhile. Then we could’ve had the fun of seeing if Jussie would go along with it and say yeah that’s them lol.
 
It looks like some posters wanna give Jussie the death penalty.

Nah... just a month or so in jail to remind him not to pull this shit ever again and that the police's time is not to be fucked with by race baiting ideologues trying to improve their acting career.
 
He attempted to start a race war and took up valuable law enforcement resources as the city continues with a ridiculously high murder rate.

But, that's cool. He's gay... and black... and woke! So... yeah... do that fake lynching thing!

This is true. Thing is, he ended up doing more damage to the gay and black communities and anyone that's a victim of a genuine racist or homophobic attack.

Chicago PD must have been lying their ass of with this happening. It sounded from them they had him dead to rights. I guess not.
it could honestly be that they mishandled something so catastrophically that it doesn't matter if he forged the scenario or not. Who knows but people walk on stupid police mistakes all the time. Hopefully he didn't do anything wrong and this is a just result...in which case he should get his career back.
 
Awesome. Can’t wait to see how this goes down. Chicago prosecutors v. Feds.

Saying he already received community service (wut?), forfeiting the bond and sealing the records say it all. This was a political intervention for Smollett and his family. Either he threatened to say something that might damage Harris or this is just a very big favor for a big progressive family connected to a lot of dirty Democrats.
 
Felony charges, though? You don't get out of that shit, because they don't want to bother. It would be one thing if they said they didn't feel the case was strong enough to move forward, but all I've seen so far is that they let him off the hook for good behavior. Hopefully they have a better explanation than that. They have to, right?

You'd be surprised. Lots of felonies, with pretty much the sole exception of homicides, don't get prosecuted as mere result of cost-benefit considerations. Of course, like with rich or famous people getting DUI's dropped, it's possible that the explanation is more apparently corrupt, but I would be surprised if that's the case given the publicity of the ordeal.

Regardless, yeah, I expect additional explanation other than "he does community service." That's absurd.
