The prosecutor who dropped Jussie Smollett’s charges

Chicago prosecutors have dropped all charges against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett weeks after indicting him on 16 felony counts for allegedly filing a false police report.

At a news conference in February, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson accused Smollett of orchestrating an alleged hate crime on himself.

The prosecutor who dropped the charges against Jussie Smollett said he still believes the actor lied to the police about the racist and homophobic attack he allegedly staged in Chicago in January.
