Seems like folks that can immediately discern cases of privilege are struggling to identify rich/well-connected privilege in this case.

Rahm- This is a bad look having a Trump hater stage a hate crime, have whoever eff up the case on purpose and drop charges
DA- well that's gonna make us look incompetent
Rahm- I'll act like i'm real pissed about it, i'm almost out of here anyway and I'll make sure you are taken care of. But we are not having this trial.
DA- Ok I'll get it done.

Note to self: If you're connected enough in Chicago, you'll get community service on 16 felony counts.

What classification of privilege needs to be invoked here?

Asking for input from the resident privilege experts.

i for one am pretty glad to see that the justice system is starting to treat all famous/rich people the same whether they are gay/black or not

Isn't this obvious. The real division in this country has always been between wealthy and poor(working/non working man). Just open your eyes and see who is taken care of with the way politicians are elected and laws written.

Why is he doing community service and forfeiting his bond if the charges were dropped?

This is very weird.

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #308 on:** March 27, 2019, 08:51:29 AM »

The AG office said he's guilty and dropped all the charges. The grand jury only looked at about 5% of the evidence and said they should indict.

Amazing

There had to be something bungled in the investigation or something that they're trying to hide, right?

Probably been mentioned but the leading prosecutor had to recuse herself after it was found out she was emailing and texting with a family member of Jussie about the case.

Kim Foxx’s favorite thing to do is let dangerous criminals out of jail, I guess this applies to not dangerous ones too.

Anything related the the Peoples Republic of Illinois I tend to stay clear of. It just never ends well, I’ll defer to Make it Rain he should have a good handle on this? Or better yet the minimalism of Trim may be more appropriate on this conundrum?

I don’t pretend to understand Chicago or Illinois politics but as an outsider she seems pretty awful.

I really don’t either, but yes. In fairness she is hamstrung by budget and prison overcrowding. It seems like once a week there is another news story on someone who got probation for a violent crime committing another violent crime.

He was tried in real time in the court of public opinion. The cops leaked all the evidence as they found it. You had investigators making conclusory remarks in public about guilt before and after he was indicted. Certainly would have been difficult to get a fair trial. And then there's always the lovely possibility of jury nullification.

Prosecutor: but what if the jury decides to find him not guilty even if he’s guilty? Can’t risk it. Let’s just let him go.

So apparently the CPD released the entire case file today...
