A judge on Friday denied a last-ditch effort to dismiss a criminal case against actor Jussie Smollett, who is accused of lying to police when he reported that he was the victim of a racist, anti-gay attack in downtown Chicago in January 2019.
An attorney for the former “Empire” actor said Smollett‘s rights were being violated since he had already performed community service and given up a $10,000 bond under a previous deal with Cook County prosecutors to drop charges.
“A deal is a deal. That’s ancient principle,” attorney Nenye Uche said.
But Judge James Linn noted that Smollett‘s case now was being led by a special prosecutor appointed by another judge, an arrangement that he would not upset.
Linn said jury selection in Smollett‘s trial would start Nov. 29.
Smollett, a gay Black man, told police in 2019 that two masked men attacked him when he was in Chicago working on “Empire.” But he was charged weeks later with filing a false police report, after investigators concluded that he staged the attack and paid two brothers to carry it out because he was unhappy about his salary and wanted to promote his career. That case, however, was dropped.

Jussie just cannot shake that annoying Lobster off of his finger! He’s tried everything.
He deserves to get exactly what he wishes on the majority of Americans.
I get a good laugh out of it, every time I watch it. 😀
Cause he prefers to take it in the, ah, bumsocket, would be a reasonable surmise.
It would be funny to see him throw Kamala Harris under the bus. He was sure spending a lot of time with her around the time she put forth that lynching legislation.
You ask that, but I’m wondering how gay got through without
being capitalized.

and a friend of Michael Obama too!
Next they’ll be capitalizing “gay”.
“An attorney for the former “Empire” actor said Smollett‘s rights were being violated since he had already performed community service and given up a $10,000 bond under a previous deal with Cook County prosecutors to drop charges. “
The correct answer to that is that Kim Fox and her cronies should be getting a prison sentence too.
He’s got to be close to broke. What an idiot to throw away a decent career. Burger king’s hiring.....
so is this about that French actor, Juicy Smolliét?
