Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx has dismissed more than 25,000 felony cases - including many involving charges of murder and other serious crimes - in her first three years on the job, a new report shows.
Foxx gained notoriety last year when she dropped felony charges against Jussie Smollett, the Empire actor accused of staging a racist, homophobic attack on himself in January 2019.
The Chicago Tribune on Monday published an analysis of Foxx's overall record on dropping charges, revealing that she has done so at a rate that's 35 percent higher than her predecessor.
In the first three years after Foxx took over as Cook County's top prosecutor in 2016, her office dismissed all charges against 29.9 percent of felony defendants, the Tribune found.
By comparison, Foxx's predecessor Anita Alvarez dropped charges against just 19.4 percent of felony defendants over her last three years in office.
A total of 25,183 defendants had their felony charges dismissed under Foxx up until November 2019, compared with 18,694 under Alvarez during a similar period, the Tribune said.
Foxx took over as state's attorney in 2016 with a promise to bring criminal justice reform and to reduce the population of Cook County Jail.
The Democrat is now up for re-election in November after beating three challengers in a tight race that was one of the most expensive of its kind.
Foxx defended her case dismissal record in an interview with the Tribune prior to the publication of its analysis.

Kim Foxx the Cartoon character
She’s earning her paycheck!
From Soros, that is.
Does it matter what color the defendant is?
25,000 felonies just dismissed. Just like that.
And the efftards in Chicago still cannot figure out why the lootings, violence, rioting and killings are ongoing on a routine basis.
She there to run interference....................
“Crimesha,” as she’s known on Second City Cop.
. . . or the victim of the crime, either???
she is there, as are other AG in other cites,
to follow the NAZI antiAMerican Orders of George Soros.
Was not aware murderers were let go, but it makes
sense.
Rapists, murderers, and corrupt AG
and corrupt policians are the tools of the
accepted, MSM-approved Nazi Soros.
George Soros is very very proud of his bought and paid for prosecutor. She follows his orders very well.
Shocker that the Communist Rag - The Chicago Tribune actually published any numbers that would show Foxx in a bad light. Someone is in big trouble over this mistake.
Given recent news, it’s too bad there hasn’t been an explosion at the Soros compound while the entire family was visiting.
This should be a learning experience for the citizens of Chicago.
But the important number is how many of those dismissed resulted in additional crimes by those whose cases were dismissed? Or, how many of them resulted in serious injury or death?
Those numbers are top military secrets.
Nice try, Groot!
Anyone who saw what she did to the super at this morning’s presser knows what I mean.
Since it's an elected position she'll win re-election in a landslide.
The voters will vote to protect their own regardless of the carnage.
Soros Spent $408k on Kim Foxx.
She’s protecting everyone but the victims.
She's protecting 'her people' from 'the white mans' racist criminal justice system'.
'Her people' consider her a hero.
