No. See above. It means that the likely end result of a prosecution wouldn't be a good idea for the prosecutors.

The statement is consistent with what our sources said about Jussie only getting community service if he'd been convicted.
Makes sense. If that was the likely outcome, it's just not worth not for the DA to open the door to further accusations of unprofessional and unethical behavior by the City and CPD. |
Lol, we let him go, but only if he agreed to let us keep his bail money.

Not buying it....someone or some people with weight tilted the scale of justice behind the scenes on this one. |

Basically, they had him, neither side benefitted from a prosecution. Smollett giving up the bail money is a de facto admission of guilt without having to cop to it.

That's the whole point. Someone said "make this go away" because of fears putting a spotlight on how the PD etc. handled the case in such a public fashion in a rush to judgement. Doesn't mean Smollet didn't make it up. It just means that whatever they thought would be the result wasn't worth it.

cool, show me another case that someone had 16 Felonies charged to them, and out of nowhere the prosecution says if you let us keep the bail money, we are all good. No probation, no record.....nothing. Have a nice day. |

no, that is not my point.....someone with weight that did not like the optics of this in court......used political capital to make it go away. It had zero to do with the outcome in my opinion. 16 Felonies does not result in community service if you get a conviction. |

Did the prosecutors go with all sixteen? In any case, my guess is they were weak on a lot of it, and there was going to be some misconduct that could hang or alter a jury finding on the merits.

That means the Osundairo brothers are probably going to jail since they admitted to the assault and the Chicago police superintendent can kiss his re-election goodbye.

ok, I see the facts are beginning to trickle out....this is 100% Chicago style bs, and unless you need to believe otherwise, I am confident in the days ahead, the facts will show that. |

I guess the same way you try to tell Kraft that you'll drop the charges if he just acknowledges he would have been found guilty . . .

while I find the Kraft example silly also...."I am innocent, but you can keep the $10K....and you can claim innocence".....that is a totally different situation. |
