State attorney Kim Foxx gets death threats after dropping Jussie Smollett charges.
Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx has received death threats since her office's decision to drop charges against"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett.
The announcement comes less than a week after the office released more than 3,800 pages worth of emails and text messages, including some where Foxx referred to the 36-year-old Smollett as a"washed up celeb who lied to cops."Smollett was indicted on 16 counts after allegedly lying to Chicago police about being attacked in a hate crime.
"Pedophile with 4 victims 10 counts. Washed up celeb who lied to cops, 16. On a case eligible for deferred prosecution I think it's indicative of something we should be looking at generally," Foxx wrote."Just because we can charge something doesn't mean we should. … it's not who we want to be."
