The Illinois Supreme Court has rejected actor Jussie Smollett's request to dismiss a case in which he's accused of falsely reporting that he was a victim of a racist and homophobic attack near his Chicago home.
The court on Friday also refused to remove a special prosecutor who filed the charges.
Smollett, 37, pleaded not guilty last month to a six-count grand jury indictment in the case. After entering the not guilty pleas, Judge James Linn set bond at $20,000 and released the Empire actor on his own recognizance, ordering him to return to court March 18.
Smollett -- who is black and openly gay -- was indicted in February by a special grand jury that accused him of filing false police reports in connection with a January 2019 incident in which he said he was attacked by two white men who looped a noose around his neck and poured bleach on him after taunting him with racial and homophobic remarks.
In a case that divided the nation along lines of race and sexual orientation, police ultimately said the incident was a hoax and that Smollett staged the assault to bolster his career, and charged him with 16 counts of disorderly conduct. Those charges were dropped a month later in a controversial move by Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx.

This POS could have been done with community service (or jail) by now if he’d come clean, instead HOW much has this farce cost Chicago and the state of IL?

Should have been sentenced to a year and served minimum of 10 months with an additional 50K fine.
I wonder what this clowns reaction would have been if the police hauled in two innocent suspects..
What would this d-bags reaction have been if hoards of blacks decided to burn down American cities?
This clown needs to go away for a long time.
What ever happened to the charge of this tool mailing fake Anthrax to himself?

Fake hate crimes are among the worst things that any human being can do
Bearing false witness is one of the most egregious sins and is pointed out in the Bible , as it has been going on for millennia
The upside of the thug Jussie Smollett’s case is the number of fake hate crimes has dropped.
Does Illinois have the death penalty?
Double Good!

If you have the misfortune to live here, they will tax you to death.
If you actually pay any taxes.
I’m looking into removing the toilets from the house, the current real estate tax is 7k+, if Big Boy knocked off $331k, that would cover the tax bill for most of my neighborhood.
