Jussie Smollet charges dropped.

[easy rider]

A commonly spoken phrase, I'm sure.

Isn't that where they film 'Empire' ?

Maybe, just maybe, Smollett will be a real victim of black on black crime in Chitown.

Why not? Maybe he'll run for president while he's at it.

I doubt Kim “Jaba the Hut” Foxx intended to fall on her sword to save Jussie Jissums ass. Gonna be interesting to see what transpires.

She has got to be one of the ugliest women I have ever seen, and I’ve seen plenty.

Sounds like brown privilege to me

He will end up seeing everyone for millions of dollars & win.

He would be an idiot to file suit. Discovery would be extra special . . .

What, Miss Oran Gutang?

Honestly, when the police chief originally made his statement I just shook my head. The chief screwed the whole thing up, I'm not a lawyer, but by them coming out and convicting him in a public statement like that; it seamed the case was shot. His lawyer probably argued this before the judge saying that he would never get a fair trial by his peers.
At the same time, why didn't this police chief know this? Why did they come out and condemn him publicly? Any lawyers in the house, I'd love to hear your take on this.

I loved hearing the chief scold him but it also made me think,"why the hell would he do this"?

Didn't he make the statement after the charges were dismissed?

He made a very long statement the day the indictments came down. I do not agree that it was problematic. It was unusual; however, this was an unusual case. The police wanted to avert public unrest/outcry about there being a miscarriage of justice.

Maybe this is why I'm not a lawyer.

Three reasons lawyers should be used instead of lab rats:
1. They multiply more quickly than rats,
2. The lab staff don't become so emotionally attached to them, and
3. There are some things rats won't even do.

I think you are right. If what the Chief said really was a problem for the prosecution, they would have blamed the Chief for the charges being dropped. Conservative talk show hosts have implied his relation to the Obamas. I dunno but I do know they had plenty of evidence to prosecute.

Kim Foxx has much higher political ambitions than her current position. That explains it. Remember that Michelle Obama's Chief of Staff was texting Foxx about this, trying to set up a meeting/conversation with Jizzie's family. There is a payoff going on here - either money or the promise of support (probably both) in her future political campaigns.

I believe you are correct. This stinks to high heaven!

If not a violation of oath of office, it is one of public trust.
That last one should carry the death penalty if we want to stop this type of crap.

Rahm's now blaming it all on Trump ...

Yep, they really are that stupid ...

 

[pronstar]

Let me get this straight:
Man blames Trump for “mugging”
Man really staged it and paid people to mug him

But it’s still Trumps fault.

Liberal logic at its finest
