After disgraced actor Jussie Smollett was sentenced Thursday to 150 days in jail for staging a hoax hate crime, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx lambasted the court proceedings as 'mob justice' and a politically motivated 'kangaroo prosecution.'
But veterans of thecourt system pushed back strongly while questioning Foxx’s office’s decision to drop charges against Smollett before the case was eventually reassigned to Special Prosecutor Dan Webb.
Former Cook County Judge Dan Locallo said Foxx’s commentary amounts to an "attempt to divert any discussion as to why her office acted in the manner that they did."Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in Cook County Jail for staging a hate crime and lying to Chicago police in 2019. "Dan Webb explained his findings and he took the appropriate action to indict Smollett again, contrary to Kim Foxx giving no explanation and suddenly the charges are dropped," Locallo said. "Who’s acting like a kangaroo court?"Foxx took little accountability for her own role in the Smollett saga in the column, although she noted that Webb’s probe "un-ironically" accused her of "abuses of discretion.
The 92-year-old grandmother of former 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett spoke in court Thursday during his sentencing.
