En_Sabah_Nur 9,362 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 BREAKING NEWS: Jussie Smollett indicted by grand jury on six counts for making false reports, special prosecutor says “(CNN) - A Cook County, Illinois, grand jury has returned a six-count indictment against actor Jussie Smollett for making false reports, a special prosecutor said Tuesday. Smollett, who is gay and black, said he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack near his Chicago apartment on January 29, 2019 Police say the actor orchestrated the incident and paid two men who were acquaintances from the TV show on which he starred -- brothers Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo -- to stage the incident for publicity. The former "Empire" actor has repeatedly denied making up or orchestrating the attack. Dan K. Webb, the special prosecutor assigned in August to investigate how local prosecutors handled the TV actor's case, said in a statement he "has now completed all of its investigative steps regarding Jussie Smollett, and has made the decision to further prosecute Mr. Smollett." "Based on the recommendation of the OSP (Office of the Special Prosecutor), a Cook County grand jury returned a six-count indictment charging Jussie Smollett with making four separate false reports to Chicago Police Department officers related to his false claims that he was the victim of a hate crime, knowing that he was not the victim of a crime," he said. Smollett was initially charged with 16 counts of felony disorderly conduct, but Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx suddenly dropped all charges in March after a high-profile Chicago Police investigation that lasted several weeks and used dozens of investigators. Prosecutors said Smollett had forfeited $10,000 in bail money and done community service. Neither Smollett's publicist nor his attorney could be reached for comment Tuesday. Smollett did not immediately issue a statement following the indictment announcement.” CONTINUE @ https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/11/us/jussie-smollett-indictment/index.html Not Again!??? 🙄🙄🙄🤦🏾♂️😒 Egypt.

StrawberryBlond 14,916 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Finally, he got away far too light last time. It was shocking how easily he was let off, it was the classic "you can get away with anything if you know the right people." I don't know how you can have such an obvious case against you and then be allowed to walk free with not even a day in court. As the chief of police said, if he was truly innocent, he'd want to stand trial to prove his innocence in front of the world. Doing otherwise suggests something to hide. And the only thing he doesn't have is "I did it" tattooed on his forehead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT everyone knew this was so off from the jump, and how the lies were found out but all 16 charges were just dropped??? Something really shady inside the system went down, to the point where the police and prosecution were pushing a redo. This is gonna be something.
