Good lawyers can't just make a case disappear. And that's what's happened here. Even the allegation against him has been wiped clean. Allegations don't get expunged just weeks after a police department charges a suspect.
IRA and Russian hackers, duh.
Or a corrupt AD. But whatever. Some actor putting on a hate-crime farce isn't all that significant to me. Now, victims of actual hate crimes on the other hand, this probably is significant to them. But it's not to me and it's a joke to you so I guess us white guys need not worry.
Police budgets and resources are tight. I am sure they are not happy that they invested time and money on a bogus accusation...

I agree this has nothing to do with good lawyers. This is typical Chicago corruption and celebrity privilege.
I still can't believe this whole thing. This city has enough problems as it is...and now this nonsense. Ridiculous.

Nice projection on your part but I happened to catch one of his attorneys being grilled by Don Lemon and what she said and how they, meaning his team of lawyers, handled the case, without her shouting or spouting nonsense, leads me to believe that Jussie had a very accomplished legal team on his side who argued for their client before a judge and brought him justice. Not everything is a conspiracy theory. Oh my god! The justice system is under attack! Now maybe Team Trump Treason can find the real killer of Ron and Nicole.

Yeah the police chief was pretty pissed off. Can't blame him considering it's one of the most violent cities in the world. Any resources or time wasted is a big deal.

Yep. CPD has more than enough shit to deal with and the fact that they wasted so much time and effort on this nonsense is absurd.

Forget Ron and Nicole, we need to find the two racist "Maga-country" guys that attacked Smollett! Surprisingly, he made no mention of them in his most recent interview. That's strange. You would think a guy that was attacked by two racists, physically beaten, and then made to look like he made it all up would want those two guys brought to justice. But no, he just wants to go on living his life. What a trooper.

It looks like another example of justice for the privileged ... no if and buts about it.
Aren't any of you worried that the two racist maga-country guys are still free? They might be tying a noose around someone's neck as we speak!
Too caught up and worried about the invasion over our southern border. Once the wall is built, I’ll be able to focus on and be concerned with much more important things.

Oh you're worried about an actual problem rather than a make-believe one. That's good to hear.
In all seriousness, Smollett is full of shit and he's going to get away with it, but it's a victimless crime (other than wasting the police's time) so I don't really care. But there is an actual problem on the southern border. And it's such a Trump move to allow the problem to persist and sit there like "See? If we had a wall...." rather than actually taking action.

I wouldn't call it a victimless crime, really. I can't imagine that other actual hate crime victims won't be negatively impacted by what he did.

May I suggest, if you are going to fake a racist attack, and you are black, you might wanna hire a couple of white dudes. That might have been the police first clue that his story was BS...and, of course, pay CASH...

I agree and I said the same thing a few posts ago in this thread. This post here was more to gauge if Halifax was being sarcastic about the southern border problem. So I figured I'd toss out a liberal talking point regarding Smollett to move on to the southern border topic.

Yes, that definitely would have been a much better idea!

I know it’s a manufactured crisis being exacerbated by Team Trump Treason for political purposes. But he just gave the dog whistle for militia members to go down there and shoot people as it’s more efficient. So there is that.
The Jussie problem doesn’t even rank in my list of problems that need to be addressed. And certainly not by a sitting POTUS with an itchy twitter finger.

I think Halifax doesn't agree that there is an "invasion" at the southern border. The word is extremely loaded. I agree with Halifax. There is a crisis, not an invasion. That is a very important distinction IMO ... And that crisis does NOT require a wall, like you said. And like I said just yesterday, Trump is not dealing with the real issues at the Southern border (or at all the other points of entry) at all, because he is focused on his ridiculous wall. And people are suffering for it.
But hey, does any of that matter? I mean, the charges were dropped against Jusse Smollett. That is obviously the most important thing right now.

I agree with both of you guys that it's a crisis rather than an invasion down at the border. And Halifax, you're not the only one that things Trump should stay out of the Smollett nonsense....
Priorities, you know? in this time of limited resources and belt tightening for the the benefit of the 1%. Jussie should have been told to take a number. Or maybe Betsy DeVos couold have offered a GoFundMe to pay for an investigation. But you know, priorities.
The simpler imperative is solving crimes when they occur, but Chicago falls woefully short on this obligation too. Last year, the Chicago Police Department solved only about 17 percent of the homicides committed. The clearance rate, as it’s called, for nonfatal shootings was an abysmal 5 percent.

why in the fuck did they spend so much resources on one person's claim of a hate crime?
Chicago's Department of Law noted in the suit that more than two dozen police officers and detectives spent weeks working on Smollett's case in 2019, resulting in 1,836 overtime hours

Not sure. I know that “high profile” cases involving public figures like actors, musicians, etc get a lot more attention than your regularly Joe due to them being in the media’s spotlight. Also seems like there was quite a bit of corruption initially with people being paid off and what not.
I don’t have a firm grasp on the ins and outs of the well known corruption within Shitcago’s justice system…

Just a drop in the bucket for a city that paid out over $113M on police misconduct lawsuits the year before.

For the record, I'm glad Smollett was convicted, f that guy.
