In addition, since Smollett had no prior felony background, no history of violence and was charged with felony disorderly conduct, a "low-level felony," Magats felt that the case could be resolved by an "alternative disposition" that included the actor performing community service and forfeiting the remainder of his $10,000 bond to Cook County. Prosecutors also asked a judge to immediately seal the case.
Although the charges were dropped, Magats made clear that "this was not an exoneration." When asked whether he believes Smollett fabricated the incident, Magats replied, "yes."Jussie Smollett leaves court after charges against him were dropped by state prosecutors in Chicago, March 26, 2019. Magats said that he understands why the mayor and police superintendent "feel the way they do," but defended his decision, saying it was "the right disposition in the case."
Funny how they say he just wants to get back to work and his life again. When that series show ends who will hire him?
Go to show game and being rich gets you off the hook. Let someone else do it and he will be thrown into prison
Fire the prosecutor!
Jussie should have been barred from making FALSE statements (aka LIES) regarding his “innocents” afterwards. Once a liar. Always a liar. EmpireFOX
You have got to be joking.
So how do we get an Alternative Solution? Aka get out of jail free card.
Three sentences into this and anyone should be able to call BULL S**T. Ok American, Republicans, conservatives, and Trumps supporters... That race card gets thrown daily, do not take it. How many other fake race crimes are going unpunished?
He is not honest,if he continues without telling the truth how someone will forgive him? He going to suffer more outside than in jail if he not change.
RahmEmanuel should hold his peace bc there are more questions about the conduct of the Chicago_Police than JussieSmollett. JussieSmollett
Prosecutor just parsing words.He knows exoneration isn't a function of his office. He saysJussieSmollett isn't a hate crime victim bc there prob was another motive.He says Jussie is guilty but evidence doesn't lie; ppl do.TherealTaraji jussiecasedropped JussieSmollett
Jussie sure got out and strutted like it was an 'exoneration.' In this case there was irrefutable evidence of crimes. Two eyewitnesses said they were paid to perpetrate the hoax. It was even rehearsed. How can he get out there and spit in the face of right and justice like that?
White Privilege does not exist. Rich Privilege does. Everyone should be treated equally when it comes to the law.
Cook County clerk’s office tells they were shocked that no written motions were filed with the court in connection with today’s surprising dismissal in the Smollett case. On top of that, the case has been wiped off their database as if it never existed.
Someone needs to tell smollett that.
Guess Jussie gets ‘his raise’ after all!!! I’m Noel, Harriet’s ‘Big, Strong, Erect, Powerful, Thrusting, Orgasmic’ husband....LOL! Aloha from Happyland , AZ!
That’s really going after the Justice system, when are you calling for him to be fired like Roseanne or prosecuted like you did Trump, I thought hate crimes were your passion, shouldn’t hate crime hoaxes be the same passion, your credibility is zilch
This was a 'political plea deal' to paint the African brother's as liars as most of the American public is ignorant and will only see & hear the 'charges dropped'. I am KENYAN & have been JAILED & TORTURED IN NJ FOR JUST BEING KENYAN SINCE 2004 UNTIL 2015 & CONTINUING!!
How about reportedly $400,000 that George Soros donated to someone involved with Jessie S case,,, I know but Jussie is such a bullshit name..!
If it wasn’t, then why stop trial by jury to settle the matter?
You can bet that this has far more to do with Geragos and Avenatti than it does Smollett.
'“We did not exonerate Mr. Smollett,” Simonton said. “The charges were dropped in return for Mr. Smollett’s agreement to do community service and forfeit his $10,000 bond to the City of Chicago. Without the completion of these terms, the charges would not have been dropped.
Horse shit.
No credibility in our 'justice' system whatsoever.
And sealed the records,,,,,,
He got off because of his privilege as a You Know Who and melanin and a 🌈.
🤔
🙄
-Soros gave a ‘donation’ over 400k to the State Attorney. -Tina (former chief of staff to MO and former assistant to BO) pulled strings. -Politicians connected to this didn’t want Jussie to talk so they let him walk. This is why he got a free pass.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Political stunt gone wrong & behind the curtain political ops needed it cleaned up b4 they are exposed! The narrative about MAGA hats were the new white hood was hot & the left wing radicals pounced ! Smollett had a plan
He hung out with jesse jackson for a day tgats his punishment for trying to start a race war lol
This should make every American sick
Chicago prosecutors are subverting the Constitution again. If they don’t have the balls to bring the case to trial, they don’t get to claim the accused was guilty anyways. Talk about prosecutorial misconduct!
“Not an exoneration”, repeat that, NOT!
Holy fuck
Why? Money and influence. Time to get the Justice Department involved.
It's who you know. In this case an aide of Obama/Michelle texted and sent emails to prosecutor Foxx. They later met. Two sets of laws, one for Smollett and one for the rest of us.
Oh please. He got special treatment. Stop covering up for Obamas
Chicago does not need these kind of linient laws, they looked ridiculous!
Chicago Police Chief Eddie Johnson: “I’ve heard that they wanted their day in court with TV cameras so America could know the truth. And now they chose to hide behind secrecy and broker a deal to circumvent the judicial system.” BoycottEmpire
Jussie just got away with it and yes, we all know he was guilty and a racist.
Very easy to figure out.
Why so much outrage at this and not the William Barr Report that gave the President the same result ?
Ask if Soros paid $400k to Kim.
