Lisa Bloom discusses the prosecutor dropping all charges against Jussie Smollett on Good Day LA

On March 26, 2019, Lisa Bloom appeared on FOX 11’s Good Day LA to analyze the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office’s controversial decision to drop all 16 felony disorderly conduct charges against actor Jussie Smollett. Bloom discussed the unusual speed of the dismissal — less than three weeks after Smollett’s indictment — the office’s position that the resolution was “not an exoneration,” the $10,000 bond forfeiture and community service arrangement, and the backlash from Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson and Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who called the outcome a “whitewash of justice.”
