i wouldnt be surprised if juicy gets beat up by a few off duty cops by the end of the year
Jussie ordered to pay $130,000 within 7 days to the city to cover police time.

Edit: probably a poorly worded title. The city "demanded" payment...he apparently wasn't "ordered" by a judge or anything. They probably can't force him to pay at this point, but they could be laying the groundwork to civilly sue him.

IPBA STATEMENT ON JUSSIE SMOLLETT CASE DISMISSAL
28 Mar 2019 2:49 PM | Anonymous
The Illinois Prosecutors Bar Association serves as the voice for nearly 1,000 front line prosecutors across the State who work tirelessly towards the pursuit of justice. The events of the past few days regarding the Cook County State’s Attorney’s handling of the Jussie Smollett case is not condoned by the IPBA, nor is it representative of the honest ethical work prosecutors provide to the citizens of the State of Illinois on a daily basis.
The manner in which this case was dismissed was abnormal and unfamiliar to those who practice law in criminal courthouses across the State. Prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges alike do not recognize the arrangement Mr. Smollett received. Even more problematic, the State’s Attorney and her representatives have fundamentally misled the public on the law and circumstances surrounding the dismissal.
The public has the right to know the truth, and we set out to do that here.
When an elected State’s Attorney recuses herself from a prosecution, Illinois law provides that the court shall appoint a special prosecutor. See 55 ILCS 5/3-9008(a-15). Typically, the special prosecutor is a neighboring State’s Attorney, the Attorney General, or the State Appellate Prosecutor. Here, the State’s Attorney kept the case within her office and thus never actually recused herself as a matter of law.
Additionally, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office falsely informed the public that the uncontested sealing of the criminal court case was “mandatory” under Illinois law. This statement is not accurate. To the extent the case was even eligible for an immediate seal, that action wasdiscretionary, not mandatory, and only upon the proper filing of a petition to seal. See 20 ILCS 2630/5.2(g)(2). For seals not subject to Section 5.2(g)(2), the process employed in this case by the State’s Attorney effectively denied law enforcement agencies of legally required Notice (See 20 ILCS 2630/5.2(d)(4)) and the legal opportunity to object to the sealing of the file (See 20 ILCS 2630/5.2(d)(5)). The State’s Attorney not only declined to fight the sealing of this case in court, but then provided false information to the public regarding it.
The appearance of impropriety here is compounded by the fact that this case was not on the regularly scheduled court call, the public had no reasonable notice or opportunity to view these proceedings, and the dismissal was done abruptly at what has been called an “emergency” hearing. To date, the nature of the purported emergency has not been publicly disclosed. The sealing of a court case immediately following a hearing where there was no reasonable notice or opportunity for the public to attend is a matter of grave public concern and undermines the very foundation of our public court system.
Lastly, the State’s Attorney has claimed this arrangement is “available to all defendants” and “not a new or unusual practice.” There has even been an implication it was done in accordance with a statutory diversion program. These statements are plainly misleading and inaccurate. This action was highly unusual, not a statutory diversion program, and not in accordance with well accepted practices of State’s Attorney initiated diversionary programs. The IPBA supports diversion programs, and recognizes the many benefits they provide to the community, the defendant and to the prosecuting agency. Central to any diversion program, however, is that the defendant must accept responsibility. To be clear here, this simply was not a deferred prosecution.
Prosecutors must be held to the highest standard of legal ethics in the pursuit of justice. The actions of the Cook County State’s Attorney have fallen woefully short of this expectation. Through the repeated misleading and deceptive statements to the public on Illinois law and circumstances surrounding the Smollett dismissal, the State’s Attorney has failed in her most fundamental ethical obligations to the public. The IPBA condemns these actions.
This irregular arrangement was an affront to prosecutors across the State, the Chicago Police Department, victims of hate crimes, and the people of the City of Chicago and Cook County. We strongly encourage our members and the public to review the National District Attorneys Associations statement on prosecutorial best practices in high profile cases.

IMHO this isn't over yet. Not by a longshot.
Everything else aside, he still has the feds and the USPS to deal with. Imo, If they can prove he sent the letter - which i would imagine they can, he is slam dunk going to prison.
Show me a case of someone sending fake powder and a death threat letter not getting prison time - I have yet to find one. To top it off, im sure the recent fiasco the past few days has only enraged the authorities even further to see to it that he is held accountable.
I still say he is going to see a year or more in prison. Book it.
Dunno if it applies if you send it to yourself. Doubt he's that method that he took the death threat seriously.Quote:

this is a tricky one for him. it's hard for him to continue to insist he's a victim if he pays it, even if "it's just to put this behind him." no actual victim would do that.Quote:

also the need to see him pay might be moot. empire just had its lowest ratings of the year and will likely get cancelled, or at least jussie's getting written off. can't see him getting any work anymore
it's really sad that democrats, actors, many visible people, many blacks + the lbg community will not condemn what jussie did.
you have to think that even some libs will call him out and cross the line on this insanity, but i really don't know.
can you blame them? the politicians and actors have everything to lose saying if they think jussie in guilty. and the message their sending trickles down and these minority groups will blindly follow for other ridiculous reasons. what kind of justice system is this?.....beyond shameful.
jussie is untouchable even though he's guilty as hell because peeps are worried on how it will effect them.....
this fucker is even up for an naacp image award.....
just listen to these idiots
millions of women in all races what this shit daily.
lol @ them saying "alleged hoax"
lol @ the lawyer black chick, sunny, knowing full well jussie is guilty as hell skirt around condemning him and saying things along the lines that "we just don't know"...look at her squirm when talking......just like that kamela harris bitch
awful, awful, awful.
dude tried to start a race war, failed and got caught....and assholes liberals like this perpetuate his innocence or hold up their hands and say "i don't know what really happened" still defend him.
conservatives are really losing their voice and most are afraid to speak up.. but when it comes down to right or wrong or being guilty, liberals/democrats staying partisan really shows how lost they are and how bad these people are for our country.

FYP /Same thing we say about Trump.
You guys are all spiking the football on how Trump was 100 % exonerated, when it even Barr says he wasn't.
If the ONLY reason he was cleared is because they can't indict a president,
WTF are you guys running around like this "lawyer black chick" for? It means he is guilty.
FTR I KNOW they are both guilty.

Jussie Smollett To Be Sued By Chicago After Repayment Deadline Passes; ‘Empire’ Co-Star Says Actor Returning
Shutterstock
by Dominic Patten
April 4, 2019 4:27pm
Jussie Smollett may have seen the felony charges against him dropped by state prosecutors last week and Taraji P. Henson is predicting he will return to Empirebut the actor’s legal troubles in Chicago are far from over.
RELATED
The Show To Watch This Week: 'Killing Eve', 'Reconstruction'...
With the passing this evening of a deadline set by out-going Mayor Rahm Emanuel for Smollett to repay the Windy City $130,000 for the costs of the investigation into the alleged attack against him, Chicago is going to sue the actor.
“Mr. Smollett has refused to reimburse the City of Chicago for the cost of police overtime spent investigating his false police report on January 29, 2019, a spokesperson of the Midwestern metropolis said Thursday as it became EOD in Chicago. “The Law Department is now drafting a civil complaint that will be filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County. Once it is filed, the Law Department will send a courtesy copy of the complaint to Mr. Smollett’s L.A. based legal team.”
Under Chicago by-laws and made clear in the letter Smollett was sent on March 28, the city can seek more than $390,000 from the actor, which is three times the original amount plus court and attorney costs
Representatives for Smollett had no comment on the matter when contacted by Deadline.
The actor who plays the openly gay Jamal Lyon on the Lee Daniels and Danny Strong created Foxseries had the 16 felony charges and potentially years behind bars he faced for allegedly staging a racist and homophobic attack on himself on January 29 erased on March 26 and the whole case sealed.
The decision by Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office drew a statement from the Lachlan Murdoch-run network that they were “gratified” with the outcome, but also strong scorn from Mayor Emanuel and the Chicago Police, among others.
As the angry departing Mayor called the deal for a few hours of community service and the forfeiting of a $10,000 bond a “whitewash of justice, prosecutor and First Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Joseph Magatstold local media that he believed Smollett was guilty of staging the assault himself. Handling the case after Foxx recused herself, Magats also said the deal the actor received did not exonerate him.
As Chicago prepared to elected Foxx foe Lori Lightfoot its first African-American female mayor, the often pugilistic Emanuel decided to hit Smollett in the wallet.
The passing of today’s deadline and the city’s intention to take this to the courts also comes as Smollett’s on-air mother Taraji P. Henson told The View this morning that he’ll be returning if there’s a widely expected sixth season of Empire. “I haven’t heard anything else,” the Academy Award nominee told the daytime talker when asked if Smollett would be back next year – as you can see in the video below.
Already written out of the final two episodes of the series’ current fifth season, Smollett’s option is up in late June. Fox has until next month to officially decide if it wants to bring the Henson and Terrence Howard led Empire back. Despite the claims of the actor who portrays Cookie Lyon, sources tell me, as I reported on March 27,that it still looks like Smollett will not be back but the “absolute final decision” has not yet been made.
This latest legal twist will surely not be helpful to Smollett, to put it mildly.
As Mayor-elect and ex-prosecutor Lightfoot says she will be looking into what went on in the Smollett case, the union representing the CPD and the chiefs of 30 surrounding police departments revealed that they conducted a no confidence vote into Foxx’s office. The result was apparently unanimous.

Hopefully that includes a full investigation into the actions of the Cook Asst States Atty and possible criminal charges of corruption against her as well. She lied about recusing herself that alone should be fireable let alone actionable by the IL bar.Quote:

These days of political correctness makes being a comedian a tough gig. I agree its a very small percent but that small percent seems to always be extremely loud.Quote:

Im beginning to think theres another saying besides a person who is their own legal counsel has a client for a fool.. After the last pile of shit from Jussie's lawyer I think he needs to be seriously drug tested because hes lost his fucking mind by making claiming absurdly that CPD investigated the matter of the incident too much and too far?? Wait yes he really claimed CPD investigated the incident too much.. Guess Geragos is saying How Dare CPD investigate an accusation of a criminal occurance they should just take the victims word at face value and then nothing else.. The worse part is that would then lead to CPD being accused of being racist and uncaring by not trying to gather evidence of said crime and finding out the criminals who did this horrible hate crime against Jussie... That is if a crime had ever been committed besides a false police report to CPD by Smollett.. Guess Smollett and his lawyer were going for the double whammy.. Sympathy from the Nation over some evil Trump supporters attacking him and then while they were at it throwing CPD under the bus for not following up enough and letting these imaginary red hat wearers to get away with this horrible crime..
By being that brazen and complaining CPD investigated too much it just proves the narrative to a T this was all one big setup.. Geragos just basically destroyed any and all defense claims to stop the 6 figure lawsuit by Chicago against Smollett for his false claims and the OT and resources spent investigating what amounted to a reverse racism publicity stunt to garner sympathy for him, actually distract from the news stories ironically of Racism among the top 3 Democrats in the Virginia Government (Gov Northram and his black face, The Atty Gen also involving racist antics and well the Lt Gov being a likely rapist).. The moment that Jussie Smollet story broke the news media suddenly forgot about the issues in Virginia which should've lead to all three resigning (which would've been a disaster for the Dems as the GOP would've taken the Governors mansion the AGs office and LTG replaced all without firing a shot so to speak unless the Dems had played dirty politics and tried to space out their resignations to get replacements in and control the process which could've bene argued as an UnConstitutional violation of the States rules and The States own Constitution which is pretty clear and clean that staggered resignations for political reasons is a violation).. Oh and to this day none of the three has resigned from office in VA despite the fact friends of mine who are loyal registered Democrats have called a spade a spade and claimed its absolute hypocrisy if they stayed and didn't resign.. Again Media controlled the narrative and poof the problems went away for the Democrats.. (Its a pointless endevour now as the Gov of Virginia is a rare one term limit job in this country he wont be up for re-election anyway.. That being said the LT Gov might be wise ot not seek the Gov job and the Atty Gen neither nor should he seek re-election as Im pretty sure both would get destroyed in the next Gen election between the solid GOP blocks outside of the immediate DC Suburbs and around the Capitol which are solidly Dem themselves.. The backlash when it returns as an issue and it would if either ran might not cost them the primary but I promise the General they would get crushed by the GOP voters and likelihood that people like some friends of mine hwo are admittedly rather far left also have zero tolerance for hypocrisy (several I know didn't vote for HRC in 2016 and instead Jill Stein over the Primary fiasco the DNC pulled against Bernie) and would likely just not vote for either candidate if they were up in the general election having won the primary slot.. Not voting in protest can be a pretty loud message (when a primary has a significantly higher combined vote total then the turnout in the general its a sure sign you got some seriously pissed off voters in your party).
FYI in case anybodys curious.. The issues in the VA Executive Branch started unraveling mid to late January.. Smollett made his accusations of being attacked Jan 29.. Coincidence.. I don't think so.. (Given Smollett is and likely remains friends with the Obamas from their days in Chicago and Northram has connections back to Obama and Clinton as he was Terry McAullife's Lt Gov when T Mc was Governor of VA 2013-2017 and was the first Gov of VA since 1973 to be from the same party as the US President, also some may remember T.M. was Head of the DNC 2001-2005, Campaign director for Bills Re Election in 1996 and Hillarys Campaign director in 2008 the year she was knocked off by Obama..) Yes folks its a small world after all..

Jussie Smollett accused of lying to CPD, indicted on 6 felony counts of disorderly conduct
...." former “Empire” actor Jussie Smollettwas indicted Tuesday in Chicago by special prosecutor Dan Webb, stemming from the alleged racist and anti-gay attack on him that occurred in January of 2019.
Smollett is due in court February 24 at the Criminal Court Building at 26th and California. Webb said in a statement that Smollett faces six felony counts of disorderly conduct, charges that stem from four separate false reports that he gave to police in which he contended he was a victim of a hate crime “knowing that he was not the victim of a crime.”....."
