They really think this means Jussie didn’t stage the whole thing

Truly mental midgets

There's barely anyone saying that on re;  mostly on the first page or 2 partly due to the lawyer claiming he's being exonerated.

Sometimes I wonder what thread you guys are reading.

They’re not saying he’s innocent, but that he’s guilty and shouldn’t go to jail. That’s even more fucked up.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Being fair, the case was so leaky that is not far fetched to believe that a lot of Cops were interested on making him fall even if he was totally guilty..

Yeah, the leaks turned out to have been pretty accurate on what internal investigations were thinking and doing, but the official stance and on the record statements were that it was a crime and they were investigating.

Right;  and where did this info leak from?

Their behavior inludes all the leaks, I would bet the lawyer harped on that a lot in whatever arguments he had with them.

The rest of your post.. nothnig really to do with what I'm saying.  He may have forfeited his bond a while ago.  I was just pointing out that he didn't pay 10k for a "deal."

I think its pretty rich to make a big deal out of "trying a case in the court of public opinion"in your PR when the dude was on national TV saying if it had been mexicans or muslims that had attacked him the police wouldn't be doing the shitty job in investigating he was claiming

24 hours later

Smullet charges dropped: "Fuck the racist Chicago PD and media for putting Jussie through this!"

Innocent man being found innocent = good

It is your duty as fellow borians to create a thread on RE with this article. If I hadn’t been banned for antagonizing Red Mercury on a regular basis this would already be up and at least 20 members would have been banned by now. It’s time to show who your true allies are. Do it.

I would ask riotous but I already know where his allegiances lie.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Like, if he isn't filing a lawsuit, he did it and he made a deal.
It doesn't matter if you want to call it a "deal" or an "arrangement".

Its a deal.

If what he claims to have happened actually happened as he said, and he has subsequently been treated the way he has been treated, that's not a 'nah, we cool, peace out' scenario.
Especially not from self proclaimed

The reason for case being dropped is weird. I don't understand it.

https://twitter.com/RaferWeigel/status/1110563447895408640

The BBC report states this:

The Cook County State's Attorney's office said in a statement: "After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr Smollett's volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case", CBS News reported.

Smollett's attorneys:

"He was a victim who was villified and made to appear as a perpetrator as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public causing an inappropriate rush to judgement," the lawyers said.

"Jussie and many others were hurt by these unfair and unwarranted actions. The entire situation is a reminder that there should never be an attempt to prove a case in the court of public opinion."

Smollett's attorneys are acting like he was completely exonerated. If that is the case then what is all this talk about community service and whether he did or didn't do it? If he was exonerated, why would community service even be mentioned?

I'm confused.

[EightBitNate]

Kim Foxx is apparently friends with the Smollett family.

So is Riotjuice ResetEra's official ambassador to TheBore? I need to know in case I ever have to pen a letter.

The problem is that a procedural exists for a reason. The lawyers probably threatened to fight the hell back because these leaks are not supposed to happen in the first place even if Smollett is shitting them on national television.

Yeah, I agree, everyone has a right to an impartial jury - I'm just 'bothsidesing' this that its as much his fault that there was public preconception before any arrests were made as unknown leakers.
I'd imagine its the weakness of the actual charges that were the deciding factor, not the tainting of any potential jury.

Because a false police report against nobody in particular, apropos of nothing, unrelated to any other investigations, I don't see being a thing a rich first time offender with a good lawyer is even going to see more than a fine for in the first place.

e: and thats ignoring 'the optics' on the chicago PD with their, lets say questionable history of dealing with the black community going hard on a black dude for lying to cops in a way that they didn't do for, you know, certain other cases they've been involved in.

They are simply referencing that he's been a member of the community, and has done service to that community in the past.. he's done activism or some shit.

It's basically the DA grasping to try to excuse dropping the charges; beyond that they are no-commenting the shit out of this.  Something may have happened behind the scenes, someone fucked up, etc. to make them think they couldn't convict him or even get a good plea deal out of him.  The other werid thing is Kim Foxx had previously recused herself because she's a friend of his family.

This shit is wild.

Yeah. Seems like it might be something like that. I don't think anything else has been said other than his community service played a role.

“What I have said, because I'm not interested in politics, and I have said this before, is that sadly in our country when you put an R or D on you, you immediately alienate most of the country with whatever choice you make,” Obama said.

“We're in those times right now. And my goal is that I want to be able to reach as many people as possible. I don't want people to stop listening or to take what I say differently if it's the truth just because I'm a D. Because there are a lot of Rs out there that I love and respect, and if I know something, I want Republicans' kids to know about college.

“I'm not one of these people who are like either you're on my side or you're not. I think you can do that better outside of politics. But I will do everything I can to emphasize the importance of voting.”

I don't think I can handle another one of Smollett's speeches. He will probably liken himself to Martin Luther King or Malcolm X next.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I think it's probably as simple as the combination of the leaks making them look bad + they didn't really have an amazing case against Jussie.  Their solid case was against the brothers who they already seemed to have given immunity.  They had no proof of Jussie's involvement, it's obvious he was, but they had no proof or even really evidnce that couldn't easily be explained.

I honestly think the 'leaks' thing is PR misdirection, to imply that 'what you heard' isn't the real story (and sadly the real story will never come out now, what a shame).

Its shit like Laquan McDonald and Homan Square that has the DA not tripping over themselves to defend the honour of the CPD

Magats, the asst state's atty, said he saw no problems with the police investigation or the evidence against Smollett. The charges against Smollett were dropped in return for his agreement to do community service, he said, and for forfeiting his bond to the city of Chicago.

More from the asst state's attorney: "Here's the thing -- we work to prioritize violent crime and the drivers of violent crime. Public safety is our number one priority. I don't see Jussie Smollett as a threat to public safety."

"We stand behind the investigation, we stand behind the decision to charge him and we stand behind the charges in the case. The mere fact that it was disposed of in an alternative manner does not mean that there were any problems or infirmities in the case or the evidence."

[Cauliflower Of Love]

from the smolley thread:

[Propagandhim]

That thread is so mind boggling.  Why is the Smollett thing a "win" for them.  The charges were dropped - it's not like the courts discerned that he was innocent.  They just didn't want to put the guy through the ringer.  Yeah, I know innocent until proven guilty and all that, but it's still as fishy and unbelievable as it was when they were told all the shit about the brothers testimonials, check, the security cam of buying the ski mask, the inane storytelling etc.  These people are so stupid. 

edit: Nevermind, only read several pages of the thread..but there seems to be a diversity of opinions on Ree about the outcome.

Seeing a black gay man get off the same way white men do all the time in the legal system is breaking y'all.
