Had Jussie Smollett's case gone to trial, it's unlikely that any of the results would have included time in prison for the 'Empire' actor, the top prosecutor in Chicago said

Had Jussie Smollett's case gone to trial, it's unlikely that any of the results would have included time in prison for the"Empire" actor, the top prosecutor in Chicago said Wednesday.

State's Attorney for Cook County Kim Foxx told CNN affiliate WLS on Wednesday that even if the celebrity had been found guilty of filing a false police report, the punishment was more than likely going to be what he eventually paid. Chicago police release a portion of Smollett investigation reports after his charges are dropped"If he's found guilty on a Class 4 the likelihood was he was going to get some type of, perhaps, restitution, community service, not prison," she said.

He would still be a felon. Forever.

CNN the death penalty.

We don’t care about the sentencing.....we just wanna know whether he’s guilty or not!

CNN defends Jussie Fitting

He Got Away With A Crime, He Made Up And Involved Others In His Skeem, That Cost Tax Payers & Officers Time & Money, Jussie Smollett Deserves To Pay For His Crime, NOT WALK AWAY SCOTT FREE...

Ms Foxx thinks she did this guy a favor? FBI is now looking him what MIGHT have been 2 years just turned into 5 YEARS,BYE BYE BABY BYE BYE!

Leave the honest man alone, he got presidential pardon... from Obama 😂

Not a good example for the kids. Should be held accountable for his actions.

Put this dirty dog on trial...FBI now on it, wire fraud a felony ...have a nice ride Mr. marginal talent

Not buying this. They knew the extent of the punishments when they charged him. They dropped the charges bc they didn’t have sufficient evidence. He made the city look bad and they wanted revenge, that didn’t suddenly die and they decided to just be nice.

Unlikely but no impossible. We will never know now thx to moooochelle. We kinda deserved closure

Wow. Black privelege much?

Well lets see what the feds determine ... The haves and have nots ..

CHICAGO FOUND GUILTY OF NEGLIGENT SELECTIVE RACIST PROSECUTION. THIS CIVIL LAWSUIT SHOULD BRING $14 BILLION IN DAMAGES.

So it's ok to fake false race attack if you watch CNN and MSNBC ?

FAKENEWSCNN

Stop trying to bury the real story. Michelle Obama top aid and Kim Foxx are corrupt and got the Jussie Smollett case dropped. This is an embarrassment.

Especially if it was his first offense. 🤷🏾

money money money money money money money Most be funny is a rich mans world and some Fame May also do the Trick And yet the poor goes to prison and get convicted over Failing to spell your last name to a Police Officer Or not having a legal IDOn you

“Top prosecutor” 😂😂😂

What about the James Comey interview? Why is the president involved with this? Oh because Jussie said something mean about him three days before he was attacked?

That’s correct, because he has: -Black privilege -Gay privilege -Celebrity privilege -Wealthy privilege

Prosecutor will soon be prosecuted!

16 felonies and zero time?

🤨 but the charges were dropped, so coulda, shoulda, woulda, don’t mean anything... leave that man ALONE

Guilty. Period.

Democratic collusion by his Aunt Kamala having his charges dropped 🤔🤔🤔

He should be sent to jail for not changing his name to atleast Jessie

Please stop calling Kim Foxx a prosecutor, she is anything but a prosecutor. She is a reckless politician who needs to be investigated

Jussie did nothing wrong, and he's a sweet angel. :)

Guilty guilty guilty

What's the Chicago prosecutor and CNN have in common? Everything! they both stay on their knees for liberals. 💋💋

Had he gone to trial, it's also unlikely that he would have had records sealed, his record expunged and gone about claiming that he had never lied.

Shiit

He should be prosecuted for a hate crime.

Pls can y'all stop talking about this dude like he killed someone...!!!! Just leave him alone.

So it's not illegal to send threatening white powders in the mail....

Not only that, he said it's been like.....the worst time ever. We should let him off the hook altogether, poor guy.

Well it’s certain that he won’t if you don’t even put him to trial!

who cares, we want these people to take responsibility for their actions
