Prosecutors don’t feel they can get a conviction. Of course not, Mr. Smollett is considered a hero in Chicago.

The next common criminal thug like Smollett will be able to fool the press and play corrupt judges...

They’re all democrats after all... gullible, vile, and cheering for thugs over decent people.

Kamila Harris stepped in and had the charges dropped is my guess.

Federal case would be different. But the federal case will still pull from the same pool of jurors.

He’s got 16 federal counts already filed after a federal grand jury pending.

And they carry pretty serious MANDATORY time

Like OJ, he will be free, but everyone will know he’s guilty.

He has connections to Obama through Kim Foxx the Crook County states attorney. And it is Chicago after all.

Let’s hope it is a deferred prosecution and that the Feds are still pursuing the letter matter.

“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 judgment”

Grrrr, he remains the victim.

You’re probably right. Family connection, Chicago, etc.
