This just proves how necessary reparations are, as if we needed more proof.
Smollet was charged with a single count of felony disorderly conduct-false report last month based on allegations brought by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.
But, CWBChicago has learned that a grand jury has now returned a total of 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct-false report against the former star of Empire on Fox.
The grand jury’s true bill states that Smollett lied about the attack to two separate police officers–the beat cop who took his initial report and a detective who conducted a follow-up interview the same day.
