Imaginable it is that not all will be impressed with some of the most famous rulings made by court controversial sagas involving public figures or rather celebrities.
Still fuming from the stunning decision by prosecutors to drop charges in the ‘hoax’ attack case against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett,Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel blasted the move Wednesday, saying all the evidence police collected against the TV star should be unsealed.
“He’s saying he’s innocent and his words aren’t true,” Emanuel told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America.” “They better get their story straight. This is actually making a fool of all of us.”
Chicago prosecutors on Tuesday abruptly dropped criminal charges against “Empire” star Jussie Smollett, who was accused of staging a homophobic hate crime against himself.
Smollett, who had faced 16 counts of disorderly conduct, appeared at an emergency court hearing Tuesday morning, where the case was dismissed in exchange for the actor agreeing to forfeit his $10,000 release bond
Emanuel suggested it was unconscionable for prosecutors to dismiss the case after Smollett agreed to forfeit the $10,000 bond he put up and complete “two days” of community service at Operation PUSH, the non-profit Chicago community organization founded by the Rev. Jesse Jackson
