Every aspect of this Jussie Smollett story just sucks. So please don't get your hopes up for any semblance of satisfaction or resolution, here.
Actor Jussie Smollett has turned himself in to Chicago police, and been charged with disorderly conduct for alleging a hate crime against him, which is a felony charge that could come with 3 years in prison. The police investigation lasted approximately three weeks and involved over 20 detectives. Chicago Police's Superintendent, Eddie Johnson, held an hour-long press conference to outline the charges against Smollett, (staging a horrific hate crime against himself, involving paying two Nigerian brothers to attack him) and explain how the investigation proceeded and arrived at the conclusion it did. Supt. Johnson also displayed a great deal of emotion, editorializing both broadly and specifically on the case and on the character of Jussie Smollett.
