Re: "The dismissal drew an immediate backlash."I hope the federal case is strong enough to be pursued. If so, it needs to be announced SOON.

I've noticed that none of the articles seem to say WHO made this decision. It's always "The State's Attorney's office." Some coward did this and is hiding with the Press's help.

Prosecutors dismiss charges against Smollett, draw backlash

http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/television/article/Jussie-Smollett-s-attorneys-say-all-criminal-13717258.php

CHICAGO (AP) — Infuriating Chicago's mayor and police chief, prosecutors abruptly dropped all charges against Jussie Smollett on Tuesday after the "Empire" actor accused of faking a racist, anti-gay attack on himself agreed to do volunteer service and to let the city keep his $10,000 in bail.

Authorities gave no detailed explanation for why they abandoned the case only five weeks after filing the charges and threatening to pursue Smollett for the cost of a monthlong investigation. Prosecutors said they still believe Smollett concocted the assault. Smollett insisted he told the truth all along.

The dismissal drew an immediate backlash. Mayor Rahm Emanuel called the deal "a whitewash of justice" and lashed out at Smollett for dragging the city's reputation "through the mud" in a quest to advance his career. At one point he asked, "Is there no decency in this man?"


Smollett's attorneys said his record was "wiped clean" of the 16 felony counts
