Jussie Smollett case: Chicago prosecutors drop all charges against 'Empire' actor
Smollett was indicted earlier this month on 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct for making a false report.

"Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify on January 29th. 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 judgement," the statement read.

"Jussie and many others were hurt by these unfair and unwarranted actions. This entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion. 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."

Well, are his "attackers" going to be charged?

This sounds a little like Comey letting HRC off. Who's pulling the strings?

re: the attackers (revised once again)

I'm guessing the bros were simply his "trainers" even though they were caught on tape buying the items used in the attack.

“Today, all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped and his record wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him,” read a statement via Smollett’s attorneys Tina Glandian and Patricia Brown Holmes. “Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify on January 29th. 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 judgement [sic].”

I hope they do it. Something is very, very wrong here.

+1. And I'm a liberal, they should throw the book at this guy if what he's accused of is true. Vile disgusting piece of trash.

The FOP has some damn nerve. They need to be thoroughly investigated. You would have thought Smullet assisignated the president or hired his own attorney general as someone mentioned earlier.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel strongly condemned the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office decision to drop all charges against Jussie Smollett, calling it a “whitewash of justice.”

“This is a whitewash of justice,” Emanuel said Tuesday afternoon during a fiery press conference alongside Chicago police superintendent Eddie Johnson. “A grand jury could not have been clearer.” In a stunning reversal, all charges were dropped against Smollett Tuesday morning by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. The “Empire” star was indicted on 16 felony counts of filing a false police report earlier this month.

These local Chicago reporters are really on the ball here. Lots of respect to them for staying on top of this. Seems they are filing FOIA requests to try and get to the bottom of this.

Brothers were asked about training fees. One brother said he charges $50 per hour but has taken $20 on low end.

The check Jussie Smollett wrote was for $3,500. @cbschicago

The brothers ex-attorney has said the money was for training and a “favor” to help stage attack.

Wow. Just got a news alert........

Chicago police release entire Smollett case file online, prompting possible moot court order barring further disclosures.
