Admittedly, I do not have a legal background, but something seems incredibly wrong with the entire Jussie Smollett situation. I have found myself sincerely angry over the charges being dropped and all evidence being sealed in this case over the last day. It seems to be to be a complete miscarriage of justice in every aspect. Quite a bit of evidence was released in the days before the grand jury charged Smollett and it was clear there was significantly more than a reasonable assumption that Jussie was guilty and should have his day in court. Yet now we are in the situation where both he and his lawyers have come out proclaiming that he was innocent all along. I know people have said they want to prioritize violent crime, but this cost Chicago a massive amount of resources, both human and financial. Additionally, this was a violent crime, Smollett claimed he was beaten by two white MAGA guys. The fact that it was a hoax of a violent hate crime should be all the more reason to prosecute. I, in my legal ignorance, cannot see a reason why these charges would be dropped and the records sealed other than some sort of corruption within the DA's office. Hopefully, someone in the legal field might be able to shed a bit more light on this and explain more technically why this definitely is corruption or give a reason why this is just a normal occurrence.
