Smollett’s Lawyer Taunts Chicago PD Day After Being Named Co-Conspirator In Avenatti Nike Case

John Bickley

Celebrity lawyer and former CNN analyst Mark Geragos took to Twitter Tuesday to celebrate what he portrayed as a full exoneration of one of his long list of celebrity clients, Jussie Smollett, after the Chicago state’s attorney’s office stunningly dropped all felony charges against the actor for allegedly orchestrating a hoax hate crime against himself.

“Today, all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dismissed by the Prosecution,” Geragos tweeted Tuesday. “Jussie’s record has been wiped clean. Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify. He was a victim and was victimized again in a rush to judgment. Apologies accepted.”
