Even the far left mayor of Chicago said this decision was bullshit. The DA’s office only released a one sentence statement on the issue; citing Smollett’s community service in the area and the fact that he was willing to forfeit his 10,000 dollar bond as saying that was enough punishment.
Unbelievable. So now rich people can literally buy their way out of jail. Smollett’s attorneys also said this wasn’t a deal they struck with prosecutors, rather the DA’s office reached this conclusion all on their own. This reeks of corruption.
