They have damages for the costs of investigating a false police report.
They already tried him its not his fault that he got off lightly.
He was not tried - the States Attorney dropped the charges. But regardless, that has nothing to do with potential civil damages he may be found liable for.
Chicago is just trying to modify the outrage knowing that they will never win this.
They will have discovery, finding of fact, testimony, etc...and it appears the evidence is quite strong in their favor.
The jury will have the option of setting an award.for punitive damages. The article states that could be in the millions. Watch for this to be settled for the proverbial undisclosed amount.
The investigation had plenty of findings and conclusions. In addition the finding of fact would come as a result of the trial.
I admire the politeness of your response. I know I would have not been as nice.
That’s just the overtime, they should be going after him for every dime his little stunt cost the city.
The state dropped criminal charges. This is a civil suit by the city. Apples and oranges.
And the city will win.
Thanks montag813.
So, I can get a Felony Charge dropped if I complete just one Hour of so called Community Service?
Heck, it might be worth committing sixteen Felonies like good old Jussie did.
What a deal!
Lol, good one
how constitutional is it to invoice a person for an investigation in which no charges were ever brought to court?
when has that ever been successfully done before in the United States?
When this is over with he’ll wish he had just done the jail time. Winning!
He will have an OJ jury. They are already ready to stick it to the white power structure. Juicy will walk free in short order.
Trump supporters would have been the real victim is this jerk had been able to pull of his fake ‘hate crime’...
We should sue him too - one big class action suit against all liberals in the last two years who have tried to ruin OUR reputations. AND the press that enabled the haters.
Maybe he has the ‘Michelle’ dick pics...
At the least he should have been expelled from the SAG by now...
No One Effing believes him.
I love how Tracy Morgan joked about him, that he (Tracy) has been offered a job on a tv series.... Empire... lol.
I thought he belonged to the Film Actors Guild.
Yep - another post says they’re suing for $500K.
