Jussie Smollett Attorney Lectures Chicago Police: Don’t Try Your Cases ‘in the Press’
Patricia Brown Holmes, an attorney for Empire actor Jussie Smollett, lectured the Chicago Police Department after charges were dropped against the Fox star for allegedly filing a false police report, chiding them for what she called trying their cases in the press.
Prosecutors dropped all charges Tuesday against Smollett, who was accused of lying to police about a fabricated racist and homophobic hate crime, his attorneys said.
“Today, all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped and his record has been wiped clean,” Holmes and Tina Glandian said in a joint statement.
The 36-year-old actor had denied 16 felony counts of allegedly masterminding a false attack to gain publicity and win a bigger paycheck.
Asked during a press conference if she has any comment regarding the Chicago police, Holmes replied: “We have nothing to say to the Police Department except to investigate charges, and not try their cases in the press but to allow matters to be investigated.”

Jussie Smollett Vows to Continue Fight for ‘Justice’ & ‘Equality’ After Charges Dropped
Empire actor Jussie Smollett pledged in a press conference Tuesday to continue fighting for “justice” and “equality” following reports that charges against the Fox star were dropped in connection to filing a false police report about an allegedly staged hate crime against himself.
“Now I’d like nothing more than to just get back to work and move on with my life,” Smollett told reporters outside a Chicago courthouse. “But make no mistake, I will always continue to fight for the justice, equality, and betterment of marginalized people everywhere.”
Smollett’s defiant remarks came after his legal team announced that prosecutors abruptly dropped all charges against the Empire actor, apparently abandoning the case barely five weeks after he was accused of lying to police about being the target of a racist, anti-gay attack in downtown Chicago.
Smollett’s attorneys said his record had “been wiped clean” of the 16 felony counts related to making a false report that he was assaulted by two men. The actor insisted that he had “been truthful and consistent on every single level since day one.”
