CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Cook County grand jury has returned a 16-count indictment against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, according to court records.

The Cook county State's Attorney's Office confirmed the indictment, which they said was returned by a grand jury on Thursday.

Once it came out that it was a hoax, the whole jussie shite disappeared like a fart in the wind.

Amazing how it works like that.

Happy to hear it. But realize that an indictment only indicates probable cause, which is a very low burden. An attorney friend of mine who worked as a prosecutor at Tulane and Broad for a very long time always says that when he used to be able to indict a ham sandwich.

Eta: hope the legal process plays out and the truth comes out.

as it should... a hate crime, an actual hate crime, is more newsworthy than a hoax...

that being said, i hope he gets the book thrown at him, for how far he has set back actual victims and how he has jeopardizes legitimate hate crime claims... frick that dude....

Uh, not at all. He needs to be paraded out and be forced to answer for his hoax. He should be universally condemned on every network and morning show.

But he wasn’t.

No such thing as a hate crime.
