Prosecutors infuriated Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago's police chief this week when they abruptly dropped 16 felony counts that accused Smollett of making a false police report about being the target of a racist, anti-gay attack in January.The prosecution sealed the case, but authorities still say the actor concocted the assault. Prosecutors offered no additional information Thursday during a court hearing where media attorneys argued that the public has a right to know what happened.
Investigators believe Smollett, who is black and gay, hired two brothers to stage the Jan. 29 attack in downtown Chicago and that Smollett hoped the attention would help advance his career. Police also allege that before the attack, Smollett sent a letter threatening himself to the Chicago television studio where "Empire" is shot.Smollett attorney Tina Glandian said the two brothers are lying.
Judge LeRoy Martin said court proceedings had followed the law and that there was "no nefariousness."
What ever happened with that Canadian Chinese Student that was “kidnapped” in Toronto and found ? Was that a fake kidnapping in Canada ? Eh ?
I'm sure his lefty elite buddy's like the Obamas will pay for it.
