Charges dropped in case against Jussie Smollett

[dukkha]

You can bet that exculpatory evidence has surfaced or a change in testimony from one of the witnesses surfaced, and the State had no choice but to drop charges.

I have always wondered if someone paid the brothers

could be the brothers. but they had enough PHYSICAL EVIDENCE to go to trail without their testimony
(the check,the video)

ROFL..unmitigated chutzbah! the BLACK GUY walks away after 16 felony charges?
you are soo brainwashed

the cops fucked up dude


this is a russo bot hole for sure



the Putin message " don't trust anything in Americas system"


don't fall for these assholes

Was this done to distract us from the russiagate story collapse?

Probably.

[dukkha]

Even his lawyer who made a statement did not proclaim his innocence. It was simply "charges were dropped". Period.
It was a plea deal to get the charges dropped.
Forfeit a $10k bond and perform community service.

rank political pressure from someone. Or in chicgao rank corruption -or probably both
No way do you walk away from 16 felonies with enough physical evidence for trial unless the fix is in

what the hell is a deferred acceptance of a guilty plea?

With a Deferred Judgment, the defendant must enter a plea of guilty.

I've never heard a deferred prosecution called Deferred Acceptance of Guilty Plea -but OK -thanks

so this would a stet case then? ( not sure if that lingo works outside of Maryland) but it's a deffered prosecution based on fulfillment of comunity service etc

Maybe he will be like OJ and hire a private eye to identify the “real” attackers

Interesting timing considering his lawyer is in hot water with Avenatti

I am sure one has nothing to do with the other

Reporting on the radio is that there was NO plea deal.

CHICAGO—Prosecutors dropped all 16 charges against actor Jussie Smollett, who was accused of staging a hate crime against himself. In exchange, Mr. Smollett agreed to surrender the bond he had paid.

With a Deferred Judgment, the defendant must enter a plea of guilty.



which Smollet never did

" In a Deferred Prosecution arrangement, the proceedings in a criminal case are put off for a period of time subject to certain conditions being fulfilled by the defendant. The most important condition is that the defendant not be charged or convicted of other crimes during this period. At the end of the time period, if all conditions have been met, the charges are dismissed. No plea of guilty or judgment of conviction is entered. If the defendant doesn't comply with the conditions of the deferred prosecution, the prosecution of the case continues."

so was it stetted or dropped? I think SOUTHERN CHICKEN has it. it was null processed on condition of community service ( in effect dropped but still possible to reopen)
