A Look Into Why Jussie Smollett's Charges Were Dropped

Description

An Illinois lawyers group said prosecutors have misled the public on why Jussie Smollett's felony charges were dropped. According to CNN, Smollett first claimed he was a victim of a hate crime, then was charged with making false claims and now has had the charges dropped. Instead of being charged for 16 charges of allegedly creating a false attack on himself, the actor agreed to pay a $10,000 bail and complete community service. While the courts may be okay with this deal, Chicago is not happy with the whole situation and want Smollett to pay $130,000 to cover the cost of the investigation.
