The judge who set "Empire star Jussie Smollett's bond at $100,000 gave the actor an earful after Smollett was charged Thursday with disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report.
"As you stand before me we presume you're innocent but the state read me a proffer that is outrageous. If true, the noose conjures up [the] greatest evil in this country," Cook County Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke Jr. told Smollett.
The 36-year-old actor said little other than giving his name at the beginning of Thursday's hearing. His attorney, who said the actor denies all charges against him, asked the judge to release Smollett on his own recognizance. However, the judge said that would be inappropriate.

Following three weeks of mounting suspicions, Smollett, who is accused of filing a false police report, was charged Wednesday with felony disorderly conduct. He turned himself in at central booking early Thursday. If convicted, he is facing up to three years in prison.

Outrageous...
Was the judge refering to the crime or the abject stupidity of the perp?

Th greatest evil in this country is not lynchings. It is the wholesale slaughter of unborn children.

The judge should keep those opinions to himself at this point.
Likely he has just opened up a pandora’s box of appeals.
To: mewzilla
I took it that the judge wasn’t happy with Smollett at all. :^)

That is a super long article. As far as I can tell it does not once mention the Fake letter sent through the US mail. And it does not once mention that Smollett is facing Federal charges.

I would say by design. But the judge and the court have to make a decision about bail based on the evidence. One way or another, the judge is already making a partial decision.

Its more than outrageous. Its a hate crime.
He hates me for being white and supporting the greatest President of our generation.
I would never accost a person, any person, without provocation. He implied I would, for no other reason than a person is black or gay. He lies. He hates. He divides. He is a perfect representative of the rabid left.
