Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has dropped over 25,000 felony cases, including charges of murder and the alleged hate crime hoax from former Empire star Jussie Smollett, according to an analysis released by the Chicago Tribune on Monday.
During Foxx’s first three years as the county’s top prosecutor, her office dropped all charges against 29.9% of felony defendants, a dramatic increase over her predecessor, the Tribune found. For the last three years of Anita Alvarez’s tenure, the rate was 19.4%.
In all, a total of 25,183 people had their felony cases dismissed under Foxx through November 2019, up from 18,694 for a similar period under Alvarez.
For the three-year period analyzed, Foxx’s office dropped 8.1% of homicide cases, compared with 5.3% under Alvarez, the Tribune found. Under Foxx, the office dropped 9.5% of felony sex crime cases; the rate was 6.5% for Alvarez.

That was the only way to get re-elected!
If she had prosecuted, they most likely would have resulted in convictions....meaning jail time and suspension of voting rights!
And yet, people don't understand why Chicago is such a crap hole!
They should break it down by race. I would bet she has let more blacks off than whites. It should be 50/50 isn't that how they want it? If she let's 10 blacks off she should do that same for 10 whites.
I believe the appropriate line would be:
YOU ARE FIRED!
Let's see the demographic breakdown.
Foxx is yet another Soros lackey plant.
Lots of them were felons already and couldn't vote anyway.
Left out of comments so far: Her dismissals were in cases where someone had actually been arrested and charged. A high percentage of crimes, including murder and non-fatal shootings, never get to the arrest and charge step. So the net effect is even worse.
