Jussie Smollett... wtf???

How is it that these celebrities keep getting away with committing crimes? why is the law different for them as it is to us?
He was facing 16 felony counts and all charges have been dropped. Apparently reason being for the invaluable work he did helping the community (18 hours).. And he didn't get his bail money back.. umm ok

Anyone else do what he did and they would be facing jail time and yet this guy walks away free with no record..

It is so easy to see he did it. He is saying now that he just wants to move on from all of this.. Umm wouldn't someone who was assaulted as he claims he was, would want police to still be searching for those people? or maybe do something about his reputation being ruined and falsely accused but nope he wants to just move on... it is so obvious that he is guilty.

yet I guarantee people are going to go back to saying he was a victim and all so it fits in with their hatred of white men and Donald trump.

Worst case scenario he would have officially been given Diversion in which payment and community service would have been his punishment anyway. So basically they just decided to forego the formality and give him his freedom without Diversion as long as he still paid. Either way he's a free man.

@Qwerty14 He paid nothing.
@MethDozer Pretty sure he had to forfeit his bail which was $10k. Correct me if I'm wrong

@Qwerty14 Oh we heartbeat is true, but that's nothing. Though it is not just forgiving a formality. Its letting him scott free. He got the celebrity privilege treatment.
