Prosecutors have reportedly dropped all charges against Jussie Smollett.
According to CNN, the disgraced Empire actor was in a Chicago courtroom on Tuesday morning (March 26) when the judge handed down his decision. It demonstrates a stark contrast from just a couple of months ago when he was accused of staging his own hate crime.
Smollett’s attorneys Tina Glandian and Patricia Brown Holmes released a statement explaining how prosecutors got to this decision. They believe it was simply a case of jumping to conclusions.
“He was a victim who was vilified and made to appear as a perpetrator as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public, causing an inappropriate rush to judgment,” the statement reads.
“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 state’s attorney’s office said.
Earlier this month, a grand jury indicted Smollett on 16 felony counts stemming from the January attack. He pleaded not guilty and has maintained his innocence.
“This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion,” the statement reads. “That is wrong. It is a reminder that a victim, in this case Jussie, deserves dignity and respect. Dismissal of charges against the victim in this case was the only just result.
“Jussie is relieved to have this situation behind him and is very much looking forward to getting back to focusing on his family, friends and career.”
That’s total bullshit. Everyone knows this fruitcake masterminded that… dont understand how he can get away with no charges. At least his career is over. Gay mafia must be behind this.
Um……. huh?
YES!!! I ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS INNOCENT!!! THIS IS ANOTHER HUGE LOSS FOR TRUMP SUPPORTERS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Oh.. Chicago PD drops all charges..Oh the plight of public opinion..we are literally sheeple..which way will u be led?????
So that’s it…..a whole ass press conference to announce the charges…but a press release to say they have been dropped….
Yeah. Let’s keep this jotos money and avoid a stupid shit show trial. Not bad for a racist and homophobic country and society out to get this N word and F bomb (self proclaimed). That drawing in the letter he sent himself will one day be on display in the Lohve. Have fun playing one of the Chipmunks at Chuck E. Cheese. Jusse.
The article fails to mention that he agreed to forfeit his $10,000 bond.
No its there you just failed to read that part
Everyone knows hes guilty.
Law suit they owe him a public apology MF’s.
Just because the charges were dropped doesn’t mean he is innocent. Theres more to this story. Maybe hes snitching on someone high up
High up to what? XD He faked getting attacked for attention,he ain’t a drug lord.
black homo privilege is the new white privilege
The Gay Mafia is really a thing yo…yall better realize
Slap me in the face with your limp dick
Regardless of the current turn of events we are still accepting offers for the trade of Jussie in the upcoming racial draft. We also are including Kodak black in a 2 for 1 deal depending on opposing race offer values.
The power of the LGBT
There’s a lot of guys in prison upset right now, they were waiting for Juicy Smollet to bring his high yella ass to prison.
Regardless it wasn’t a major crime he committed, if celebrities can get away with running people over with cars or carrying guns illegally and not get jail time then of course he wasn’t going to jail over a false police report, just surprised they didn’t give him community service cause that’s the worst he was gonna get
Oh i see he actually did do 2 days community services
Now, we just got to get Kels out after that extorting lawyer with his wack evidence got put out of the way. Free Kels.
