After her office shocked the country by suddenly dropping all felony charges against former “Empire” star Jussie Smollett and sealing all records of the case, Chicago State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and her office have officially lost the confidence of the Chicago police, the Democratic Chicago mayor, and now the editors of the city’s revered paper, the Chicago Tribune.
In a stunning development Tuesday, Foxx’s office abruptly announced that they were dropping all charges against Smollett and burying the case. “After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollet’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution,” Foxx’s office announced without any prior warning to police or the mayor Tuesday.
