Charges against Jussie Smollett dropped, attorneys say
ABC Chicago ^ | 03/26/19 | Staff

Posted on 03/26/2019 8:20:47 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Charges against actor Jussie Smollett have been dropped, his attorneys said Tuesday.

Smollett is in court to make an emergency court appearance.

In a statement, Smollett's attorneys Tina Glandian and Patricia Brown Holmes said, "Today, all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped and his record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him. 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.

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.

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."

“The story told by the CPD must not have had the evidence required to back it up.”

Yes, that must be it.

Not that the POS is a gay, black Trump=hater, the trifecta hero for Big Media and the Hussein Heads.

Every leftist I’m seeing gleefully says the same thing, “There was no evidence!”

I predicted this on FR before Jussie was even charged.

Reason was simple. It’s Chicago Jake. Jussie is an entertainer, black, homosexual and a democrat.

Easy peasy.

Kim Foxx...

She looks like a twin of another race of Jessica Simpson from a few years back.

Post that Foxx pic next to one of Simpson from the vintage of that movie she did with Dane Cook... a match! Even the hair style!

Remember that homosexual Negros can play TWO cards, race AND sexual orientation. The triumvirate would have been if he were a mohamedan. He can get away with ALMOST anything. If he had the third card, he COULD do anything and get away with it.

CPD Superintendent Eddie Johnson responds to charges being dropped against Jussie Smollett: “They chose to hide behind secrecy and brokered a deal to circumvent the judicial system.”

Jussie Smollett should be charged under federal hate crime laws for the actual crime we know he committed against white Trump supporters

This is proof they’re trying to invite a Civil Race War

This was a hate crime

Federal charges need to be filed now

Michelle Obama knew Jussie Smollett very well and Michelle’s former Chief of Staff Tina Tchen reached out to Kim Foxx about the Smollett case. This is now under investigation.

I guess. But...what happened to the favorite word of all media outlets; "alleged"?

"Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify..."
It should be; "Jussie alleged that he was attacked by two people yet was unable to identify either one...

Poor writing or...great bias.

He was attacked by two MAGA-hat-wearing bigots, just as his staged assault was about to go down. Yeah. Unbelievable, all right.
