JamesR123   0 #1 Posted August 3, 2019 I am surprised to see a lack of commentary on this case. I couldn't find a thread about it.  The special prosecuter will be sought and will investigate this case. It will highlight corruption that leads all the way up to the Obama family.  What are your opinions on this foul human?  I think he needs a substantial prison sentence, not exceeding 10 years.

JamesR123 Â Â 0 #3 Posted August 3, 2019 Have you not heard about the case? Â He was charged with a variety of crimes including filing a false police report, disorderly conduct and sending threats and hate mail. Â Truly hideous individual.

On February 20, 2019, Smollett was charged by a grand jury with a class 4 felony for filing a false police report.The next day, Smollett surrendered himself at the Chicago Police Department's Central Booking station. Shortly thereafter, CPD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi stated that Smollett "is under arrest and in the custody of detectives". On March 26, 2019, all charges filed against Smollett were dropped, with Judge Steven Watkins ordering the public court file sealed. First Assistant State's Attorney Joseph Magats said the office reached a deal with Smollett's defense team in which prosecutors dropped the charges upon Smollett performing 16 hours of community service and forfeiting his $10,000 bond. On March 27, 2019, it was announced that the FBI would be investigating as to why the charges were dismissed.  I cannot see anything about the Obama family, maybe James has a grievance with them?  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jussie_Smollett#Personal_life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's historical and a separate charge. He is being charged with sending racist hare mail to himself on the set of Empire. Have yourself a google. 30 minutes ago, Mister M said: There was a thread on it.
