Actor Jussie Smollett was indicted on six counts of disorderly conduct for faking a hate crime in Chicago, nearly a year after similar charges were dismissed

CHICAGO—Actor Jussie Smollett was indicted Tuesday on six counts of disorderly conduct by local authorities for faking a hate crime against himself, nearly a year after similar charges were dismissed.

A grand jury indicted Mr. Smollett on the charges including making false claims to police about the alleged incident. The new charges were presented by a special prosecutor named last year to reinvestigate the case after a 16-count indictment against the former “Empire” star was dismissed.

It's important to let the charlatans know they will be prosecuted & so we can better believe the genuine victims. Of he's guilty, there must be consequences as his actions diminish the pain the real aggrieved suffered before him.

Justice is conviction & time in jail for this smacked butt And no former First Lady COS to come to his rescue
