Default indited on 16 felony counts --Jussie Smollett



https://www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...ck-allegations

Jussie Smollett indicted on 16 felony counts following Chicago attack allegations

"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett was indicted Friday on 16 felony counts following his Chicago attack allegations.

A spokesperson for the Cook County State's Attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment. A lawyer for Smollett did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.

Following the news, Anthony Guglielmi, the chief communications officer for the Chicago Police Department (CPD), tweeted: "As Supt Johnson stated, allegations against Mr. Smollett are shameful & if proven, they are an affront to the people of Chicago who embraced him as a neighbor & respected him as a role model. We stand behind the work of detectives & refer any comment on indictment to prosecutors."

CHICAGO POLICE BLAST JUSSIE SMOLLETT 'PHONY ATTACK': 'BOGUS POLICE REPORTS CAUSE REAL HARM'

Earlier this week, it was revealed that the Chicago Police opened an internal investigation into Smollet's case.

In a statement to Fox News on Thursday, a spokesperson for the force confirmed that "an internal investigation has been opened."

"I would like to point out that a lot of the information out there was inaccurate and there were numerous agencies involved in this investigation," the statement continued. "As a standard procedure when there are allegations of information being leaked, an internal investigation has been opened and we are also looking at our vulnerabilities."

Jussie Smollett could face up to three years in prison for allegedly falsely reporting a hate crimeVideo
JUSSIE SMOLLETT'S ALLEGED CHICAGO ATTACK DETAILS UNFOLD: A TIMELINE OF EVENTS

In January, Smollett told police that he was attacked by two masked men as he was walking home from a sandwich shop in the early morning on Jan. 29. The actor, who is black and gay, said the masked men beat him, made derogatory comments and yelled, "This is MAGA country" — an apparent reference to President Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again" — before fleeing.

But that isn't how police say it all went down.

Smollett, who is accused of filing a false police report, was charged last month with felony disorderly conduct. After turning himself in, a judge set Smollett's bond for $100,000 and he was released from jail. If convicted, he will face up to three years behind bars.

According to the Chicago Police Department, Smollett paid Abimbola "Abel" and Olabinjo "Ola" Osundairo by check for a "phony attack" in order to take "advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career."

Chicago police chief calls out media, lawmakers who accepted without question Jussie Smollett's claimsVideo
'EMPIRE' ACTOR JUSSIE SMOLLETT'S BOND SET AT $100G, JUDGE CALLS EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM 'OUTRAGEOUS'

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said at a press conference last month that police found the "check that [Smollett] used to pay [two brothers]" to fake the beating, adding he paid them $3,500 "for the two of them in total, and then $500 upon return."

He said the attack "was staged, the brothers had on gloves during the (air quotes) 'staged attack' where they punched him a little, but as far as we can tell, the scratching and bruising that you saw on [Smollett's] face was most likely self-inflicted.”

Smollett has maintained his innocence. The actor's legal counsel told Fox News after Smollett was accused of filing the fake police report that the nation "witnessed an organized law enforcement spectacle that has no place in the American legal system.

What's next for 'Empire' star Jussie Smollett?Video
JUSSIE SMOLLETT'S LAWYERS BLAST AUTHORITIES, SAY ACTOR WAS 'BETRAYED BY A SYSTEM THAT WANTS TO SKIP DUE PROCESS'

"The presumption of innocence, a bedrock in the search for justice, was trampled upon at the expense of Mr. Smollett and notably, on the eve of a Mayoral election," his team continued.

"Mr. Smollett is a young man of impeccable character and integrity who fiercely and solemnly maintains his innocence betrayed by a system that apparently wants to skip due process and proceed directly to sentencing.”

Illinois attorney Rod Drobinski reviewed the indictment and told Fox News the grand jury hit Smollett with a separate count for every different crime he alleged had been perpetrated against him (eight in all) — to each of the officers he spoke with (two). Thus, the 16 total counts.

This is a developing story. Check back here for updates.

It's never wise to write checks when you're doing something illegal.

Somehow I have a feeling that many of the ghetto class and their mouthpieces, MSM and race hustler lawyers will still say that he is innocent and this was a big set up to get him because he was a successful young gay black

The media does this all the time. Why is only in a case like this that there is an outcry about conviction before a trial? Hrm...

OK, I'll admit I was wrong, and Jussie IS innocent. He didn't ask his two Nigerian friends to attack him, and he didn't know it was them attacking him during the attack. Jussie is a victim.

The two people who committed the hate crime ADMITTED that they assaulted Jussie. There's no question of guilt, now that we know Jussie did not put them up to the attack, there was nothing staged or choreographed about it.


So, when can we expect the two Nigerians to be arrested for this heinous hate crime? Should be an easy case, they are on video, and they admitted to doing it.

This is quite similar to the OJ fiasco. A serious miscarriage of justice!

All the main political players in this Chicago nonsense are either black or gay or both.

Unless the feds are going to prosecute him, this is seriously jacked up. No one is going to look for attackers, they have already fessed up. This whole thing reeks. It looks like Michelle Obama has her hand in it too....
