The “White Powder”? That will be in the federal charge I would think.

He wouldn't have needed to hire Mark Geragos for something that could be plea-bargained down to a misdemeanor. The federal charges are the ones he should be most worried about.

“Collect his dna while booking and check the hate letters to see if he needs a federal charge for mail fruad, too.”

Since racism was the premise of this, file federal racism charges against him. That can come from the DOJ.

Total win for Jussie. Before this stunt, I had never heard of him. Now I know who he is and what he looks like. I guess there really is no such thing as bad publicity.

Who is this person, why should I care and what is the obsession with him on this website? Aren’t there really quite significantly bigger fish to fry?

Chicago is not MAGA country. Jussie was among like-minded people when he made those accusations.

In this case, who (other than the perpetrators) acted to his or her detriment?

I suppose you might make the same argument about the Mueller investigation; or like Hillary ask, "What difference does it make/"

The Chicago Police spent resources investigating the "attack" that they otherwise would not have spent.

The intent was to get the government to act to MY detriment, and maybe get some "brothers" to play the knock-out game.

...has been charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report about an attack he said occurred as he walked to his apartment building in Streeterville last month. The charge, a felony, was announced by the Cook County state’s attorney’s office Wednesday evening, hours after police called Smollett “a suspect in a criminal investigation … for filing a false police report.”
Finally. I wonder when his gig with CNN will start? /snark

No, I wouldn't. Look closely at Mueller's prosecutions. They allege actual fraud on the part of various defendants (Manafort, for example).

Notice that he never charged Mike Flynn with fraud for lying to the FBI.

I hope Juicy Smellitt goes to prison for ten years. Prosecuting him for a crime that doesn't hold up under any legal scrutiny does nothing to make that happen.

They just reported he mailed the letter to himself. After Chicago PD is done with him, the FBI and DOJ will get a chance at him. And the federal charge will be much more severe. Idiot.

That's not fraud ... because Smellitt didn't put any of that money in his pocket. And those police would have been paid anyway.

If he had staged a fake hate crime and then claimed reward money for turning in another perp, on the other hand, then fraud would absolutely be a legitimate charge.

Felony is what he’s charged with, so he can probably just make a deal to plead guilty to the misdemeanor and pay a fine.

“Charge with a felony. Later have him plead no contest to a misdemeanor - judge withholds sentencing until he completes community service ...”

You are CORRECT!
