Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx penned an op-ed in the Chicago Sun-Times expressing her outrage over the conclusion of actor Jussie Smollett’s sentencing hearing on Thursday after being found guilty of staging a hate crime in 2019.
Foxx accused Smollett’s trial of being “damaging, costly, and disingenuous criminal prosecution” that showed “the system can be easily manipulated in furtherance of thinly veiled political agendas.”
