by prosecuting a woman for filing a false police report -- but dropping similar charges against embattled "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett.

quote:

The judge continued, “There’s no publicity on this case. She doesn’t have Mark Geragos as her lawyer or Ron Safer or Judge Brown. It’s not right. And (if) I proceed in this matter, you’re just digging yourselves further in a hole. (If the) press gets a hold of this, it’ll be in a newspaper. Why is Ms. Clark being treated differently than Mr. Smollett?”


And the hits just keep on comin'

He's right, you know!

ETA: Can the charges against Jussie be reinstated?

This is backwards though. The "error" was in the handling of the Smollett case...not this one.

People who file a false police report should ABSOLUTELY be prosecuted.

What double standard? Foxx got paid off to let Jussie go and didn't get paid off to let this woman go.
