Jussie Smollett won'''t reimburse Chicago'''s investigation costs; city vows civil suit | Fox News

It looks like Smollett had failed to pay the city of Chicago back the money it wasted on his little prank. I hope the city is successful in recouping the wasted funds for that little ****s lies. Do people here agree that the city should file a lawsuit to recover their funds? Or should Jessie get a second get out of jail free card?

Does this mean they can actually charge him this time? Let's hope so.

Its my understanding rje lettwr sent to him gave him 7 days to pay up or he could fave some of the charges
 
I hope the city goes through with the suit, then we can finally see the evidence about the fake hate crime scheme Smollett did, but got away with because of his contacts with the DA.

They should pay him... the publicity that Chicago has received is immense. This crusade to make Jussie look bad is getting really disgusting.

ha ha, now that’s rich, good one.

I reported this thread for being stupid, but I think that makes you eligible for a toaster.

No one made Smollett look bad except for Smollett. How is it possible someone can actually post what you just posted without being embarrassed?

I realize that marketing is a very serious and competitive business. Maybe you should learn more about the value of marketing before commenting again?

Committing a crime isn't marketing unless your education was extremely poor.
 
I wouldnt want to see a porno with those two.

I've never seen the names before, so it's kinda hard for me to believe they pull a DA's strings. Maybe you watch too much Blue Bloods.

If Chicago gained attention over his actions, then yes, Chicago received some marketing. Educate yourself, my friend.

I agree that the city should be able to recoup its costs assuming they can prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that it was an intentional hoax.
 
There will be a little bit of wrangling and denials, a quiet covert deal to pay a few thousand bucks, and this will eventually be swept under the rug.

I think Chicago is making a mistake in seeking financial remuneration. They need to seek the FBI's help in the assault case and pursue the real attackers. Just because the city attorneys have buried it does not stop the fed from pursuing charges via civil rights violations. Smollett insist that the attack was real. Time for the feds to engage. We cant have racist attacks on our streets unanswered.

Why a shadow of a doubt when that's not the legal standard in any other case
