The stunning announcement Tuesday that all 16 felony charges against “Empire” star Jussie Smollett were dropped without clear explanation has prompted a massive backlash against the state’s attorney from key figures and entities in the city, among them Democratic Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago Police Department, and the Chicago Tribune, which has devoted several articles to calling out the “indefensible” actions of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx and her office.
In a column Thursday, the Tribune’s Eric Zorn makes the case that Foxx “will and should lose her job” over her office’s’ “spectacularly” bad handling of Smollett.
