Actor Jussie Smollett charged again related to alleged staging of hate crime

CHICAGO - Former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett was charged on Tuesday in a six-count felony indictment accusing him of staging a phony hate crime in Chicago, nearly a year after similar charges were abruptly dismissed by local prosecutors.

The previous charges “were appropriately dismissed the first time because they were not supported by the evidence,” Glandian said. The attempt to prosecute Smollett anew ahead of the Cook County state’s attorney primary election next month “is clearly all about politics, not justice,” she said. The dismissal of the original case on March 26, 2019, three weeks after Smollett was first charged in a 16-count indictment, drew an outcry from then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the city’s police superintendent, who branded the reversal a miscarriage of justice.

A Cook County grand jury returned the new indictment after the special prosecutor found “reasonable grounds exist to further prosecute Mr. Smollett,” Webb said in a statement released in conjunction with the indictment.

Break the law, suffer the consequences

我以前看嘻哈帝国电视剧还挺喜欢他，但这件事发生后我非常鄙视他，我希望他承担法律责任，给那些尝试报假警诬陷他人的人以警告。

Smart, not!

Lock him up.

This guy is trash. Obviously the search results recently authorized by a judge related to his messaging and email accounts were conclusive. Boohoo my plea for attention backfired, and then my attempt to make it go away for $10,000 also backfired.

Lol is it not illegal to continue to pester people for past closed cases repeatedly to prevent troll trials. Otherwise, Police could just keep opening a case and closing it before they lose to make a mans life hell.

Enough already

Good Chicago. This DICK pulled a terrible publicity stunt at tax payer expense. Let him serve 30 days at tax payer expense.

Can someone tell me why he was at the NAACP image awards? If he's done nothing but harm the image of colored people?

😂👌

It's about time.
