If Foxx recuses herself, which she said she was doing publicly, a special prosecutor has to be appointed. Not to mention the various conflicts she already had and the way the case was handled.
CHICAGO (FOX 32 NEWS) – Attorneys for Jussie Smollett filed a motion Friday asking the court to reconsider the appointment of a special prosecutor to examine the case’s handling.
The Empire actor’s attorneys, Tina Glandian and Mark Geragos, described the case against Smollett as a “travesty of justice,” arguing that the media and courts have ignored his presumption of innocence.
In June, Cook County Judge Michael Toomin decided to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the decision by Cook County prosecutors to dismiss all charges against actor Jussie Smollett.
