Are the feds still on the mail threat charge?

Any reason they can't take up the case?

Only if they can't forensically connect Smollett with the letters. Separate crimes.

Deferred probation deal.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/entertainment/empire-jussie-smollett-emergency-court-hearing/

"Charges dropped against 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett as part of deal

The actor, who was charged with 16 counts of disorderly conduct for allegedly hiring two men to attack him in a staged hate-crime attack near his Streeterville home in January, has reached a deferred prosecution deal with prosecutors that will wipe out the charges against him. Smollett will forfeit the $10,000 he posted for bond.

"After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollet'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," the Cook County state's attorney's office said in statement."

So that's like Deferred Adjudication deal.

It's basically admitting it and if you do nothing else wrong for some period you are cleared.

A deferred adjudication, also known in some jurisdictions as an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal (ACOD), probation before judgment (PBJ), or deferred entry of judgment (DEJ), is a form of plea deal available in various jurisdictions, where a defendant pleads "guilty" or "no contest" to criminal charges in exchange for meeting certain requirements laid out by the court within an allotted period of time also ordered by the court. Upon completion of the requirements, which may include probation, treatment, community service, some form of community supervision, or some other diversion program, the defendant may avoid a formal conviction on their record or have their case dismissed. In some cases, an order of non-disclosure can be obtained, and sometimes a record can be expunged.


If that's the case then they simply did not want to try the case to avoid the circus. And it amounts to a slap on the wrist like don't do it again. He also forfeited his bond. So he paid $10K.

They wouldn't need to forensically. The brothers could testify to it and be enough to convict.

Wonder how the police chief feels about that.

Nevet expected him to serve any jail time, but this has all been swept under the rug. His career is about to go into overdrive.

I was unaware the brothers had direct knowledge about the letters. In any event, this decision is coming from Kim Fox who had recused herself but she's back into it?

Bad pookie happening.

Congrats Jussie. You just got added to the list of "people I will punch in the face if I ever see them in public" right below Harvey Weinstein and right above Michael Moore.

Time for the Feds to press charges, just like they do when liberals don't like people being found not guilty.

You've got to hand it to the left, they have no problem being corrupt...even in plain sight. They're not pressing charges because even if convicted he would do only community service, which he already did? This is ridiculous. The only way this works is if the msm carries their water, which of course they will. Unbelievable.

Now the little racist pos gets to scream that he's innocent and leftist morons will back him up.

The reds have been pretty busy recently. The Varsity Blues scandal as well as our favorite CPL. Hopefully they will nail this guy as well.

uh...given the nature of this whole thing, that seems like a fairly bad idea.

Not if I punch them in the face with my cock. I would totally skate on that because "liberalism".

Will the charges against CPL now also be dropped ?

Some white, conservative dude should go up there and pull exactly the same nonsense and see what happens.

Statements are being made now. Charges are dropped, Jussie only forfeited his bond. $10,000.00 is the price paid.

this is a political response to the Mueller report from the weekend.

This is a F'ing joke


Don't ever say America has a blind justice system again. Ever.

Black, liberal, and gay. The only way this guy could've been more untouchable would be if he came out as Trans or a sudden convert to Islam after spending a night in the county jail.

that would have been pretty funny if he had emerged from a night in the clink with dark rimmed glasses, a bowtie, a skull cap, and a new name.

MSM reporting it as all charges dropped.

What a crock of sht. They say that it was the brothers that beat him up, but he still denies he had any part in it. Justice served.
