The Cook County State Attorney
The Cook County State Attorney’s Office went into damage control on Wednesday after being criticized for dropping charges against actor Jussie Smollett, a report said.
Prosecutors were desperately searching for other cases where felony charges were dropped — similar to that of Smollett’s outcome, according to an internal email obtained by CBS 2 Chicago.
“We are looking for examples of cases, felony preferable, where we, in excersing [sic] our discretion, have entered into verbal agreements with defense attorneys to dismiss charges against an offender if certain conditions were met,” the email reads.
