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."
LOL!
I guess you could honestly say he was “attacked by two people,” but is a lie by omission.
To make that description completely honest, you’d have to add “he was ‘attacked’ by two people in a fake confrontation he set up and he paid the two fake ‘attackers’ for the fake ‘attack’.”
I really don’t think MOST of American people will agree with this
Jussie must know some powerful Democrats.
BINGO! Something like that happened behind the scenes, there's absolutely no doubt about it. Let's hope the truth is uncovered and it creates another Obozo scandal.
Jury pool considerations.
Way more this story, that will never be told.
Not necessarily. We might have to be a little more patient.
It’s not his lawyers you need.....you need to be a homosexual, black dude.
Second cell on the left, third tier...Geragos and Avenetti
They can’t do anything about the Feds though....................
Sounds like a decision made by prosecutors who felt that while the evidence did not show Jussie committed a crime, it did not exonerate him either, and that there wasn’t sufficient proof to prosecute him.
Just making a point about prosecutorial discretion.
Now they are saying Kim Foxx involved, the one who initially recused herself and was contacted by the Obama operative at the request of the family. Sickening.
I hope the mail fraud case gets him. Who is paying the massive legal fees this must require?
“Someday, and that day may never come, I’ll call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift...”
Time for street justice.
That is exactly what happened. Message sent: One can get away with this crap. I sure hope there is still a federal charge somewhere.
Yes Juicy Fruit's lawyer was arrested(unless that's fake news too)
