Jussie Smollett has gone West, young fans, and he has no intention of returning to Chicago for a new court hearing about whether a special prosecutor should be appointed to review how criminal charges against him were dismissed.
That’s what his publicist Hilary Rosen is saying, according to the Associated Press, as Smollett’s attorneys file court papers to stop his being forced to appear in court in Chicago Thursday.
In the court filing, Smollett’s lawyers said the actor, who just got kicked off his Empire TV show for the foreseeable future, got rid of his Chicago apartment due to security concerns and has moved west to California.
Empire is coming back for a sixth season, but not the beloved Jamal, aka actor Jussie Smollett.
Returning to Chicago for Thursday’s hearing would be an “undue hardship,” the lawyers argued, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Besides, they argued, Smollett is not a factor in the hearing since all charges against him were dropped.

This fruit thinks he has a say in the matter?
He belongs with that other fruitcake who wants to go to trial for the college admissions scandal.
Because going to trial always works out great.
I believe that a finding of illegal behavior by the prosecutor Kim Fox will nullify her dropping the charges against Smollet. There’s no double jeapordy problem because he was never tried. Which leaves the path open for the civil suit by the brothers and allows a new prosecutor to reopen the case, at least I think that is the case. He deserves jail time along with Kim Fox and the persons that bought her off. IMO
Does America even have an extradition treaty with California?
