A special prosecutor, designed to assess how the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office (CCSAO) handled the Jussie Smollett case, released his report, lambasting Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx for “abuses of discretion,” “special treatment” and other malfeasance related to Smollett’s alleged hoax hate crime.
Special prosecutor Dan Webb released both a 12-page summary and full, 60-page report of his findings, and though he found no criminal wrongdoing, Webb had plenty to say on Foxx’s office’s decision to allow Smollett to bargain to an unofficial “plea deal” inked outside the boundaries of the legal system, with Foxx’s office dropping 16 charges of lying to Chicago police in return for a mere 16 hours of community service and for forfeiting a $10,000 bond.
