All charges dropped !!!

I'm not making a claim to how I think this case should be charged. Just commenting on the often used phrase of "If I did that, I'd be in jail." Most often said by a person who would be most likely to get off and not spend time in jail.

OK...and I'll agree that's pretty rampant around here. Most people think that if one commits a crime they automatically go to jail upon sentencing. As a matter of fact, jail time is likely the exception, not the rule, for first-time offenders committing most non-violent crimes.

Fuck...now I have to admit that I agree with Rahm Emanuel on something:

After charges were dropped against "Empire" star Jussie Smollett for allegedly staging his own hate crime, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel are furious with the outcome, calling it a "whitewash of justice" that cost the city more than $10,000.

Lily white's would get a pass, due to their ability to pay atty fees.

The just us system is not based upon how innocent or guilty you are. But rather how good an attorney you can afford.


Now if you go to the conspiracy side then this may be interesting

According to USA Today, court documents reveal that Obama’s former chief of staff, Tina Tchen, contacted Kim Foxx, the Chicago-area’s lead prosecutor, before charges were brought against Smollett in February to request that the police department let the FBI take over the investigation into the since-fired “Empire” star.
The paper reports that texts and emails provided by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office show that Tchen told Foxx that Smollett’s family had “concerns” about how the Chicago PD were handling the case, which eventually turned dramatically against the actor and singer. Tchen, an attorney based in Chicago who co-founded the Times Up Legal Defense Fund, encouraged Foxx to contact Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson to ask him to cede the investigation to federal authorities.....
