Illinois Prosecutors Bar Association: State's Attorney 'Fundamentally Misled' Public About Dismissing Smollett Case

Cook County State's attorney Kim Foxx arrives to speak with reporters and details the charges against R. Kelly's first court appearance at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse on February 23, 2019 in Chicago, Illinois.
Looks familiar, must have  starred in a movie before......:)

In a blistering condemnation of the dismissal of all 16 felony charges against "Empire" star Jussie Smollett, the Illinois Prosecutors Bar Association (IPBA) has accused State's Attorney Kim Foxx and her office of having "fundamentally misled" the public about the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of the case.

The backlash against the decision Tuesday by Foxx's office to suddenly drop all charges in the high-profile "hoax hate crime" case continues to mount. On Wednesday, the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA), which represents prosecutors across the country, released a statement detailing what Foxx's office did wrong. On Thursday, the IPBA, which "serves as the voice for nearly 1,000 front line prosecutors across the state," issued its own, even more directly accusatory statement.
