Well...I personally think people who fake racism cries should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. To me that is nothing to play with. It's like creating a go fund me sight saying you have cancer or something, when you are perfectly healthy. It makes it hard for the people who really have these things....to be taken seriously and helped.
I have no sympathy for him. People have to know that there is a PRICE to pay for doing this.
The Cook County State’s Attorney’s office issued a statement after the hearing:
“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,” the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office stated in an email.
Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx had recused herself from the case, so First Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Magats, a 28-year veteran prosecutor, had been the lead prosecutor on the case.
State Attorney Kim Foxx recused herself after admitting that she got a telephone call from Michelle Obama's Former Chief of Staff.
Inquiring Minds would be interested in know why the SAME Prosecutor who took this case to the Cook County Grand Jury and received 16 Felony Indictments .......
Would then decide to just drop all the charges and approve the case to go under seal.
It's puzzle all right. Seems to be fairly rare to just toss 16 Grand Jury Felony Indictments. I guess that's the "Chicago Way" and those Chicagoans know how to play the game, who to call and who to pay off.
That wouldn't go very far, the CPD had a vast about of evidence proving that he is totally and completely guilty. Had there been no political interference from above, he would rot in jail, as he should..!
1.) Sometimes DAs and Special Counsels simply do not have enough evidence to warrant charges.
2.) Funny how the same people questioning why charges were dropped against Smollet want more questions are the same people saying we don't need to see the Mueller Report.
Makes no sense. The Mueller report stated they found no evidence of collusion, however, they have not said why they dropped the charges. Pretty stark difference.
But will say though, the police and the justice system, need to get out of this habit of arresting people, slamming 50 different charges, and then in the end dropping it all, or the charges being reduced to something trivial. This is not the first time it has come up, and it seems the US justice system has zero care the impact of an arrest, despite no conviction, has on a person.
The question is did they hold something back to get him federally? In general the police will hold some evidence back in any case that gets media attention in hopes that the defendant will mistakenly think it was released to the public when it actually wasn’t. Once they do that it usually damns them because they know something that was never publically disclosed
Husband said it's designed to make the Feds go after him so they can blame Trump.
See? No collusion. This means he is innocent of doing anything.
You are right. The prosecutors decided to drop the charges, it is what it is. We all need to **** about it...just like the other report...
