BREAKING: Jussie Smollett indicted again for making up hate-crime attack
Nearly a year after Chicago prosecutors made the shocking decision to drop all charges against Jussie Smollett for allegedly faking a hate crime against himself, a special prosecutor has indicted the former Empire actor for the January 2019 incident.
“Smollett planned and participated in a staged hate crime attack, and thereafter made numerous false statements to Chicago Police Department officers on multiple occasions, reporting a heinous hate crime that he, in fact, knew had not occurred,” Webb’s office said in a statement, adding that further prosecution of Smollett is “in the interest of justice.
“I want you to know that not for a moment was it in vain. I have been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one,” Smollett told reporters after the hearing. “I would not be my mother’s son if I was capable of one drop that I’ve been accused of.” “Do I think justice was served? No,” Johnson said, months before he was fired for sleeping in a running car at a stoplight near his home. “I think this city is still owed an apology.”
