Jussie Smollett Case

Jussie has effectively been sentenced to pay a fine (forfeit his bond) and do community service for his crime. He hasn't been exonerated. It's a bit like plea bargaining a speeding ticket for something that incurs a fine but no DMV points.
Scott makes a good point. I think Jussie got his just deserts, give or take. What he lost in reputation, career prospects, etc. is substantially more than the court ordered bond forfeiture and community service. I think justice has been served.
That said, I think 'wiping the slate clean' part is definitely fishy. It should stay on his record, as it would for anyone else.
Well, what do you know? It turns out the initial picture that had emerged, and which I commented on above, is not correct. The court did not mete out any punishment. They just dropped the charges because the district attorney's office says they're too busy to pursue this case.
This is not just fishy. This stinks to high heavens. This is unconscionable and disgraceful.
