Jussie Smollett Charges droped

[Nalera]

How do you just drop 16 felony charges? How does wasting probably millions of dollars of resources and trying to start a race war equate to community service?

Chicago? nuff said.

Do you have a source on how much the investigation cost?

[buck008]

His attorney says there was no deal struck.



I'm not sure how that statement stacks up with the fact he forfeited his bond though.

It doesn’t at all. It’s an odd thing to claim.

It's almost as if it makes sense to wait for due process to complete before cementing your opinion.

Hahaha This needs to be a T Shirt! Or it's ok to have an opinion everybody else does.

[Ooid]

The whole affair has been a mess since the beginning. Jussie initially said it was two white guys who attacked him and it turned out to be two black guys. THen he gets indicted for 16 different things and now the charges are dropped? Is there not enough evidence that he orchestrated the whole thing? How is he not at least being charged for the false police report? He didn’t get his bail back so I guess that’s the fine he’s being given, correct me on that if I’ve read incorrectly.

Just attorney doing attorney things. He's an advocate for Smollet. The truth isnt important to him. Just the best spin for his client.

[Irefusetodie]

Forfeited his bond, did community service, and the case is sealed. Totally innocent.

[Alixie]

No collusion. Total exoneration. :d

I like you /10 char.

[Elba]

I guess you can chose to be naive if you like. Guessing you think OJ is innocent too .

OJ Simpson was sentenced and convicted and served time in prison.

[Jorlen]

I guess it wasn't worth the trouble and/or cleanup after the riots

[Eldar45]

OJ Simpson was sentenced and convicted and served time in prison.

Not during his murder trial in 1995.

[Gorsameth]

I would guess the police screwed up at some point, violated his rights or something so instead of him suing them they make a deal to drop the case?

[Elba]

Not during his murder trial in 1995.

I am aware. Point is, Simpson is not an innocent man. Of what crime has Smollett been convicted?

[Nurasu]

Forfeited his bond, did community service, and the case is sealed. Totally innocent.

I don't think he served community service, I think they cited his volunteer work as an example of him being a good person and benefit to that community. Not 100% sure though.

Hah, for what all those opinions are worth! If only humility was considered more of a value in this culture; instead we're mostly a bunch of fucking geniuses who have it all figured out.

[Collegeguy]

Well well well.

Something about a lot of comments aging poorly.

Really now. Don't tell me you think some maga boys were involved.

I really don’t get the “trying to start a race war” bit. He didn’t specify a race and even if he did he never said any thing that would be in support of a race war.

[Rustedsaint]

Well to be fair I’m sure there are plenty of maga boys involved now
