A grand jury will hear the Jussie Smollett case early next week … law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
Law enforcement sources connected to the investigation tell TMZ, the 2 brothers who were arrested and then released are staying somewhere around the Loop in downtown Chicago under the watchful eye of police so no one gets to them. We’re told cops especially want to make sure Jussie does not contact the brothers.
We’re told when police raided the home of the 2 brothers they found magazines with pages torn out, and authorities are now trying to determine if the missing pages are connected to the threatening letter that was sent to Jussie 8 days before the alleged attack.
Our sources say early on they asked Jussie if he’d sign complaints against the 2 men who attacked him and he was clear that he would. But, when he found out the 2 brothers were the ones in custody we’re told he said he knew them, felt bad for them and declined to sign the complaints.
Our sources say although cops believe the brothers purchased the rope that was around Jussie’s neck after the incident, there is no surveillance video at the hardware store because it erases after a week.

Since when does an event such as this get elevated to “Grand Jury” status....????????
What’s the charge? That two black Africans are really white supremacist KKK Trump supporters? Even for America, that’s a stretch.
I guess....it's all for show...and pub.
I suspect they are going to present evidence against Joosy.
“Since when does an event such as this get elevated to “Grand Jury” status....????????”
Because felony offenses were committed. All of them by Smollet.
L
He should be deported to Nigeria.
Does charging someone for filing a false police report need a Grand Jury?
He’s just a lefty-lunatic. Sad.
No kidding.
And, Who is PAYING for this?
If it’s a Chicago Grand Jury, good luck.
I think the cops are doing everything they can to prevent a race riot. Dotting every I and crossing every T before they arrest him.
Can MAGA people qualify for a class-action against the likes of Smollett?
I actually think that this approach should be considered.
Chicago. Friendly venue to pick jurors from. Stinks to high Heaven.
This is a rug sweeping move.
They want this to disappear quietly.
Juicy fruit ain’t from around there, I don’t believe. Would Chicago riot over an LA homo who faked a “hate crime”?
How do you know that since the investigation is still on going?
Grand juries only occur after all the facts of an alleged crime have been gathered............
It’s a felony.
Crook, I mean Cook County Grand Jury.
I've been reading about it. Knowing a little now, I can see many reasons.
Here's one article, can't guarantee it's the best. But probably a good time for any of us who don't know ... to know ...
