Judge denies latest attempt to dismiss Jussie Smollett case

Judge denies latest attempt to dismiss Jussie Smollett case
quote:
Chicago Sun
A Cook County judge Wednesday rejected the latest attempt to dismiss charges against former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett.
It was the third time Judge James Linn denied a motion to drop the case since Smollett was indicted earlier this year for the second time for allegedly lying to police about being the victim of a racist and homophobic attack near his Streeterville home.
Special prosecutors violated the actor’s right to due process when they presented previous testimony given by two key witnesses to the grand jury that indicted Smollett earlier this year, the actor’s attorneys argued.
In 2019, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundiaro testified before another grand jury, leading to charges against Smollett. Those charges were later dropped in a now notorious decision by State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office.
The 2019 testimony was read to the second grand jury that eventually indicted Smollett on six counts of filing a false report in February.
Chicago is also suing him to recover the costs of investigation.

In an Instagram Live interview with US author Marc Lamont-Hill, the actor said the last two years had been "beyond frustrating".
"They won't let this go, it doesn't matter. There is an example being made."
"The sad part is it's an example being made of someone that didn't do what they're being accused of," he added.

Jussie Smollett says not speaking out has been tough for someone "that speaks up for so much".
"It's been difficult to be quiet. To not be able to say all of the things you want to say, to not be able to yell from the rooftops."
He adds that it's not his job to "convince people that I did not do this".

Actual victims of racism and racist attacks should be in total favor of prosecuting these fraudulent hoaxers. Their false claims chip away at the public’s confidence in all such claims.
The fact that many supposed racial justice advocates seem to be defending Smollet and others whose claims have been ludicrous from the start and have been shown to be false is an indicator of the sincerity of their activism.

If Kim Foxx's career survives this, a lot of people are going to be pissed off.

Whatever happens, everyone knows he's guilty. Like O.J., he may never do any time, but he will never hear the end of it.

He should be prosecuted solely for including the line "this is maga country!" In his story.

Dude, your own community doesn't want you anymore. They all know you were full of shite.
10 degree weather and you leave the house in the middle of the night to go to fricking Subway? And random Trump supporters with bleach and rope wondering around in frigid weather in case they see an obscure actor no one has ever heard about?

As they should. He should pay every dime.

I didn't realize he is still adamant about being innocent in all this 
He's got serious problems

You know what K you’re right. In the good old days black folk were being hung just for being black & now you’re hanging white people on social media just for being white. And bitch stop insulting God or any universal power that people put their faith in by saying you’re praying for them. I believe you get down on your knees every morning & at night, but I wouldn’t call that praying.

How has he cashed in? He was fired from his job, not able to find work, has lawsuits filed against him.
Untouchable? Prisons are filled with black males. How is he untouchable because he's black. Do yall really believe this stupid shite.
