Chicago to SUE disgraced Jussie Smollett after guilty hate hoax verdict

Uh oh — he’s in trouble now!

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Following the thousands of hours the reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown

Police Department spent investigating Jussie Smollett

...Cable TV actor whose primary talents seemed to be being black and being homosexual. In a bid for national attention, he paid a pair of Nigerian brothers to rough him up a little so he could claim that two large, white, MAGA hat-wearing men had shouted This is MAGA country! while thumping him at 2:30am on a bitter cold night in Chicago and throwing bleach on him, presumably to lighten him up. The story quickly unraveled, and he became a laughingstock and the poster boy for pretend victimization and attention whoredom...
's hate crime hoax, the former Empire star is now being sued over $130,000 for the time spent by the department's officers investigating the incident.

The city will be going forward with a $130,106.15 lawsuit against the star after Smollett was found guilty on five counts of disorderly conduct, according to the Daily Mail.

In a July 2019 legal filing from the department, they stated that more than two dozen cops spent weeks investigating the Smollett's claims, logging 1,836 overtime hours in the process.

"The City filed a civil lawsuit against Jussie Smollett to recover costs incurred by the Chicago Police Department investigating what the City believed to be Smollett's false police reports that he was a victim of a hate crime," a statement from the city said.

"While using a different standard of proof, the jury's finding of guilt convicting Jussie Smollett of criminal charges stemming from the incident confirms that the City was correct in bringing its civil lawsuit," the statement continued.

$130,106.15 is a joke.

How about the $Millions in private property damages and looting. How about 100's of persons physically harmed because of this Racist White Hate, Political based Stunt?

#2 more than two dozen cops spent weeks investigating the Smollett's claims, logging 1,836 overtime hours in the process.

The reason for that effort was that Cook County DA Kim Fox went all in on solving this horrible but obviously fake hate crime. I rather suspect the cops who took the original complaint would have dropped the whole mess.

Not a lawyer, but civil damages seems like a novel legal theory.

#5 it is smart to sue only for the time spent by investigation officers

since a Jury has already found Smollett guilty of false report all you need is billing info

going beyond this would be more trouble for the city of Chicago and also would be vindictive
