If he goes out and publicly decries the decision along with the cops, it takes away the "it's just dirty Chicago/Obama politics as usual!" attacks. At least that's the thinking on their part (imo - I am clearly speculating). He doesn't have to worry about blow back at the ballot box, he can play his role and make his stand knowing it's all a show. That's why more than one cop was rolling their eyes as he spoke.

When you're facing 500 murders a year and lots of violent crime, spending a ton of resources, which it would take in a case like this, to prosecute a guy for a hoax, a guy with no record and not likely to do it again, a history of active community service, keeping his 10K, and almost zero chance of perpetrating a violent crime, would be a waste of resources better spent making Chicago safer (!).

There's literally NO sense to it at all, and I don't need a DA friend to tell me that. Do you think, for one moment, that if this crime was NOT Smollett but some unknown nutbag looking for fame, that the Chicago PD would have put so much time, energy and resource into it? Of course not. Smollett cost the city millions and stressed out the city's protection and resources, while lying to the world for weeks...even to this day, insisting he has been honest since day one. This isn't political. You don't just DROP the charges here. It's embarrassing on multiple levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
