re: Cook County judge slams Kim Foxx's office on double standard

Yeah, so what's the answer according to this judge? Just to judicially scratch those laws off the book?

And how the DA's office looks in the papers should not be his concern. Apply the damn law.

"The law" isn't only about what's written. It needs to be interpreted by the judicial system, typically termed case law.

But if you look at the facts of the Smollett case and see the result, it's a miscarriage of justice to have someone with similar facts be judged differently within the same jurisdiction.

It's why the Smollett case was rightly lambasted far and wide.
