Dropping of charges against ‘Empire’ star Jussie Smollett ‘almost unheard of’: Judge Andrew Napolitano

The stunning decision by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office to drop all 16 felony charges against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett in his alleged hate crime hoax is “almost unheard of,” Judge Andrew Napolitano said Tuesday.

The Fox News senior judicial analyst said on “America’s Newsroom” soon after the news broke that it seems like the government asked the court to dismiss its own indictment.

“Quite frankly, this is almost unheard of,” Napolitano said. “It is either the result of extraordinary lawyering on the part of [Smollett’s] lawyers or a realization by the government of a defect in its evidence that it did not know it had at the time it sought and obtained an indictment against him.”

None of the above. Just one phone call from Michelle/Michael Obama did the trick!

He did so much harm to these groups. Hate crimes do exist and to lie about it (I still believe he did) will call into question the validity of every report to come. Shame on him for. Shame on the judicial system for dismissing charges.

Two. Sets of rules one set for the overprivaledged and the underprivileged and another set for everyone else! Total bs! No justice in this country anymore!

I still say someone asked Smollett to do this and he screwed it up. The charges were dropped to keep someone's name from coming up in court. They were afraid he would speak up to keep from going down alone. They are covering for someone. Why else drop the charges? They had video evidence he lied about it being two whites guys. That is enough to lock him up. A false report.
