Public scorn alone should hurt

The cops could charge her with “Interference with Official Acts” like they charge every druggie and bum they roust, but they wont for a clear lawbreaker. Also she can be arrested and held for 24 hours as a danger to the community if they really wanted to send a message. But the Chicago Cops’ Masters in the Dem party will never, ever allow it.

It must suck to be a stupid cop who keeps voting over and over and over for the people who trash them and leave them open to ridicule from bloggers and defenseless on the streets. cops are the dumbest people on earth, thanks for the 15 million illegals, nice one ‘law enforcement’.

I have yet to hear why the charges were dropped, but...

Actually, I don’t see how they could force him to reimburse the city for the cost of the investigation unless he is prosecuted and convicted of a crime.

Imagine how bad this could be if every big city decided to make conservatives pay for every “investigation” into hate crimes, like displaying the American flag or something.

He’ll probably turn around and sue Chicago and collect $20 million

I can’t wait to see what the FED’s do. I think that Trump is really ticked about this.

At the very least, shouldn’t there be Federal charges for sending hoax white powder to himself via USPS?

Look for his next court appearance to be when he sues the city for millions and a black jury awards it to him

So a civil suit is based on the “preponderance of the evidence.” But will a civil suit be able to unseal the sealed records? If not, then I do not see how the City of Chicago stands a chance.

On the other hand, if they can employ the sealed records, then it should be a slam dunk case to demonstrate that a hoax was perpetrated on the city and the rest of us.

She’s the one who made all of this disappear on Smollett’s behalf and left the police stuck with the bill.

No, it's the taxpayers that are footing the bill for this fiasco.

How do you sue someone over the fallout from a crime they allegedly committed without their having been convicted of that crime?

I think everyone knows the answer to this but ... criminal conviction is unanimous jury and the standard is beyond a reasonable doubt for each juror to vote guilty. Civil suit is majority of jury and the standard to vote for the plaintiff is only preponderance of evidence.

I was a little surprised to see that question asked. Maybe I missed something. Happy Friday!

only in the old soviet union or a phillip K dick or frantz kafka story would the state police invoice a person not charged with any crime to collect payment for his own investigation ...

There would be a certain irony if we woke up tomorrow and the news was that JS found dead, hung by a noose... with a MAGA hat on his head just for good measure.
