    Smollett case gets a special prosecutor

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebri...cid=spartanntp

    Maybe the citizens of Chicago will get justice for all the wasted taxpayer dollars after all.

    More wasted money on this idiot? They should be looking at why Foxx took herself off the case but continued to share her thought on it with everyone in her office. She’s the problem, he’s just the “celebrity” that got off easy because of her.

    Could care less about him now. They need to bring charges against who done him favors. Also tack whatever his punishment would be on top of theirs.
    That would be justice!

    This is just the tip of the iceberg with Chicago's way of handling the justice system. 2 weekends ago, numerous arrests were made for illegal gun charges. Over half of them were let go on signature bonds (I Bonds). The police superintendent has called out the justice department on social media. https://chicago.cbslocal.com/2019/06...olent-weekend/

    All I can say is that I happy and content knowing that this way of life is not prevalent in my area. Hope some of you can say the same.
    Sacred Heart of Mary, pray for us now, and at the hour of our death. AMEN
    O blood and water which gush forth from the heart of Jesus, have mercy on us
    For the sake of his sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and the whole world

    Chicago must not recognize the double jeopardy clause of the United States Constitution.

    Hmm, you have to be tried first before that comes into play. Maybe read up a bit on law?

    A freind of mine who is a lawyer just posted about this - This is a different investigation.
    Double jeopardy is if you are prosecuted for a crime (which he was not) and cleared, you cannot be prosecuted for that crime again - but there are exemptions.
    New Evidence
    New Charges
    New Investigative scope.

    this is the last - a new scope. This is a special prosecutor investigating the conditions that led to the charges being dropped, not actually directly investigating Smollett. If new evidence arises against Smollett in this investigation, he can in fact be tried again.

    I really believe that race had little to do with the charges being dropped- the decisions were about $$$$. I think producers and hollywood big wigs had a couple important backroom meetings ( Chicago's favorite kind of meeting) with the right people (which I would bet my bottom dollar included some union folks - the unions run chicago from the shadows) and they had this whole thing squashed.
