Nice. Dolph went way up in my book when I saw what he accomplished education-wise.

It got me to a point where I could almost forgive him for being Ivan Drago. Almost.


Ivan Drago was way more human in Creed 2. Actually liked his character.

It was amazing. Wanted to run through a wall at several points in it. Pure Americana.

No. Twitter links have been having hell loading on any forums across TexAgs. Apparently it's happening elsewhere too and it's something that Twitter screwed up on their embedding. If you refresh it, it may show up.

I have to pause ad blocking to get the tweets to show on a page.

Why is a skinny guy wearing a shirt that has an urban dictionary word describing how a fat person runs?

No way in hell is it truth, because Jessie is not into that at all.

Quote:

New documents released by Chicago police Thursday show Jussie Smollett discussing drugs with the two brothers who accused the "Empire" actor of paying them to stage an attack on him.

The texts were among the 460 pages released by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office and Chicago Police Department Thursday after a judge ordered Smollett's case file unsealed last week.

The documents show that Smollett initially communicated with Abimbola 'Abel' and Olabinjo "Ola Osundairo about buying marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy before enlisting them to stage his alleged attack on Jan. 29. The brothers later told Chicago police that Smollett paid them to stage the attack on him.

"It was found during the review of these text records that on various occasions Smollett would request that (redacted) procure items for Smollett which Smollett described as weed, molly, or Whitney, which the (case report) was familiar with being slang for cannabis and controlled substances," the documents read. "In particular, weed is slang for cannabis, molly is slang for ecstasy and whitney is slang for cocaine."

The report notes that Smollett used the electronic payment methods PayPal and Venmo to pay for the transactions, and that on multiple occasions, Smollett appeared to describe his payment to the brothers for the drugs as payment for "legitimate expenses" like personal training......

It's OK, the weed is for his anxiety that he's had since Trump got elected. You'd be literally Hitler to take that away from him.

Even if you discount the weed as a now legal drug, you still have the cocaine and ecstasy.

Wasn't the US and Illinois State Attorney General's Offices going to investigate the legitimacy surrounding the dismissal of this case?

US Postal Inspectors were also supposedly investigating that white powder he mailed himself. Federal felony offense if convicted. Wonder what happened with that?

So since the charges were dropped, does he just get away Scott free or can they charge him again?
It's not the severity of the punishment that deters crime; it's the certainty of it.

They can charge him federally I think.

I'm not a lawyer but why wouldn't they be able to charge him again? He wasn't acquitted.

Think Double Jeopardy may play in. Federally is a different matter. I'd love to see him get hit with a hate crime charge.

I thought if he wasn't actually prosecuted and acquitted it wouldn't be double jeopardy.

I thought he pled out the charges? If he pled it out, DJ. If they just dropped the charges, fair game.

I thought that applied to trial or if he had a plea? If he never had a plea then how could there be double jeopardy?

I'm pretty sure he struck a plea deal. Not 100% sure how it all figured out because they brought up the "community service" crap

The Washington Post article below says the charges were dismissed. There is no mention of a plea, it was kept secret and never answered:

Quote:

Was there a plea deal?

Both the prosecution and defense danced around whether Smollett made a deal with prosecutors. (Presumably, Smollett did not want to admit guilt, and prosecutors wanted to avoid conceding the alternative.)

...

"Had there been no forfeiture of his bond to the City of Chicago or community service, we would not have dismissed the charges," Ellis said.

Well in that case, prosecute away. I had thought it was a plea. Still hoping for federal charges though.

Surrendering his bond tells me it was a plea deal and they may be limited now.

The system protects itself.
There has only ever been one possible outcome for this situation -- the swamp is just waiting for people to get bored with the story and move on so the whole thing can be dropped. You live in a country in which Old World corruption has metastasized. You think you live in America, but you don't. You live in Stage 3 inoperable-corruption America. The system will protect its own corruption and nothing in this situation had the chance to be good. Nothing ever could.

Doubt it's Double Jeopardy

More likely Contract Law prohibits further state prosecution

"In exchange for bond forfeiture, state will dismiss charges"

EDIT - I assume this was the "deal"

I also assume this would not preclude the filing of further charges that were not included in the original battery of charges and/or issues

Then, you get into issues of estoppel, etc
