WHEREAS, Jussie Smollett alleged that he was a victim of a racist and homophobic hate crime in the City of Chicago, County of Cook; and

WHEREAS, the investigation by the Chicago Police Department revealed that the alleged hate crime

never occurred and was, in fact, staged by Jussie Smollett; and

allegedly lying to police about being the victim of a racist and homophobic hate crime; and

WHEREAS, the overwhelming reaction from the legal community has been of shock and surprise by the decision and it has left a negative perception that the State’s Attorney’s Office was neither fair and equitable nor transparent in the adjudication of the Smollett case; and

WHEREAS, Cook County constituents deserve nothing less than honest and transparent answers to this very troubling case; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Cook County Board of Commissioners does hereby request that State’s Attorney Foxx appear before the next scheduled Finance Committee of the Board of Cook County Commissioners to discuss the decision to dismiss all charges against Mr. Jussie Smollett; and
