Will this be a new charge or double jeopardy???

To: BlackFemaleArmyColonel
He wasn’t convicted, so it’s not double jeopardy. The dismissal and reinstatement of charges isn’t the same as being acquitted in court, and then being prosecuted again of the same charges (stemming from the same act ... obviously, if someone robs a bank a second time, they can be charged with bank robbery again even if acquitted for the first bank robbery, and this isn’t double jeopardy).

Since he was never prosecuted double jeopardy does not apply.

He's not one of those people who can make some kind of religious "taqiyya" claim, is he?

Rahm and the chief of police are expressing phony outrage. Read Second City Cop blog for real outrage and some interesting info.

The Democrats will make sure he is gifted the money or is compensated. He will not suffer the loss of a dime.

I agree, but his settlement with the prosecutors may be a contract.

Nope. The idiot Cook County Prosecutor violated half a dozen State laws and well established Court procedures. This phony settlement will get tossed.

He has that much between his couch cushions. He’s saving his real money, though, to pay off God for all the things he’s done.
To: Pilgrim's Progress
Petty cash? That’s his Jed Clampett carrying around cash.

I wouldn’t bet money on Smollett getting what he deserves. Remember OJ.

Double jeopardy only happens if you are acquired by a court. Smollet never even went to trial. Also you an be charged with two different crimes for the same act of it breaks two different laws. In this case it sounds more like a civil court.

New charge!! Awesome.Wait til the Feds sack this faggot up.
To: BlackFemaleArmyColonel
Even this reeks of corruption. Just pay $130,000 and everything will be OK. Note: Smollett made $100,000 per episode of his TV show.
