sexpig by night posted:yea this will be just like how they still hold Kav up as an innocent, sweet, man beset by the mob of liars and sluts, it doesn't matter what the truth is, the goal was to muddy waters enough so they can cling to this even after it's over. You can see it in that thread with people crying about the "mountains of evidence" against him and how obviously this is a miscarriage of justice.

I am gonna think Jussie has a pretty decent defamation case, no? If he really didn't do anything wrong he needs to be bankrupting the involved police departments.

It's possible that prosecutorial immunity would apply, I'm not sure. We'd need more facts, like why are the charges being dropped -- is it because evidence was deliberately falsified, or did a key witness recant, or what?

theflyingorc posted:I feel like drawing any hard conclusions from the charges being dropped at this point is premature I mean, this is a really unusual thing, you don't often see prosecutors dropping a case they have indictments on unless they're in a situation where they can't ethically bring forth a case they can't prove. There's not really any other context to this stuff.

Gatts posted:Plea deal? No. According to the TMZ report they're claiming "State's Attorney, Kim Foxx, told Chicago police she was dropping the case because Jussie would have only gotten community service if convicted and she said he has already performed community service so there is no point in prosecuting him." but also "We could not find any record of Smollett doing community service." edit: I think this is the guy that first ran with the CPD leak? https://twitter.com/RaferWeigel/status/1110563447895408640 It seems like it might be at least a bit related to that time they claimed the check was proof he paid for the crimes and oops it turns out it was just payment for physical training. That and the time they claimed he mailed the letter to himself only for the FBI to step in and say "wait what hold on." TGLT fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Mar 26, 2019 |

Yeah, this is a "the cops did it, or the cops coerced the assailants into implicating Smollet by torturing them". Which is what the majority of Chicagoons or those aware of the CPD's tactics always said was the case.

Its absolutely possible (and very likely imo) that Chicago police are both A)corrupt but also B) got it right that Jussie was stupid enough to fake a hate crime and hide behind his status as a gay black actor to get a raise. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Those two statements are in no way equivalent. Statement B) is loving absurd dude. How much money would one of your friends have to pay you to get you to violently beat them? How would this help his career? He "hid behind his status as a gay black man"? What status in society do you think gay black men have?
