Sixteen Counts and a Cover Up
After causing sixty Northwestern Hospital employees to forget their HIPAA training over a made-up crime, Jussie now has some actual crimes to answer for:
- A Cook County grand jury has formally indicted Jussie Smollett, heaping 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct on the “Empire” actor for allegedly staging a hoax hate-crime attack on himself in January.
Smollett, who was arrested last month on a criminal complaint with a single count of disorderly conduct, will be arraigned on the new charges on Thursday.
The indictment, which was made public on Friday, cites Smollett with disorderly conduct for each crime he said he had suffered, with separate counts related to statements he made the night of Jan. 29 to a police officer, and then for repeating the same account to a detective the same night. The charges all are Class 4 felonies, the lowest category of felony offense under Illinois law.
They're going to force a plea, one way or the other.

That's right, Smollett is the lowest class of felony offender.
The hospital used the computer system to track all employees
who signed on pertaining to Smollett's care. If they were not
directly involved, they had no business in his medical files.
For a patient who was treated and discharged under his own
power, no way 60 employees were directly involved. That
would be one hell of a hospital bill.
These hospital fools should have resorted to the verbal
grapevine, rather than logging on individually. Let this be
a lesson. Big Brother is active in every line of work and
the golden "ring the ship's bell" in HR is attrition.
I hope they fight this. No harm came to the patient. It's a
tragic cluster fuck that happened on the spur of the moment
over this POS.
Kidney Juice... why was all than man power utilized for Jessie Smullet’s smoke and mirror bullshit when in the mean time legit murders don’t get that man power— people in the Unfortunate area of the city should be calling for your balls and job. I say so because I don’t want my first amendment rights to be violated or banned on Twitter because someone will say I called for violence- then my head will be on the platter
Yeah. One count of misdemeanor disorderly and probation.
You gotta answer for Santino, Jussie.
One lump or two?
Any traction to the rumor that once elected, Toni Preckwinkle will appoint Jussie Smollett (once released) as cultural ambassador of new and improved Chicago values?
Glad to see those seeking work are able to find it. Godspped Jussie!
What ever happened to the bottle of hot sauce. If the hot sauce don't fit, you must aquit.
Last time someone charged with 16 counts things went pretty well for the prosecution. Remember JVD.
Good lawyers and he gets off. The brothers paid to recant. Then sues city and NWH walks away with several millions of taxpayers dollars. See he had a plan all along.
"Force a plea"? Ha Ha How much you wanna bet it's reduced to a misdemeanor and no jail time.
Sixteen Shots
Sixteen Counts.
No prior convictions means no prison time. Hell, even if he had prior convictions there is no way the state of Illinois would actually sentence him to prison for this.
He will plead guilty to a misdemeanor and pay restitution.
That is all
What a evil sociopath!!!
He won’t do well in county in general population,
until the feds hit sweet cheeks with that federal charge of using the us mail for his scam...
maga country... hahahahaha
ED is grabbing for straws.
he needs more time as supe to promote his son to SGT.
now you know why we have to CRAZY ass liberals running 4 mayor!

Dayyyyummmm, I want in which ever study group Eddie Jr goes to! You KNOW they gonna have that juicy fruit.
Common guys cant anyone take a joke? (Sarcasm)
What about the investigation regarding the letter, isn't that the most serious crime, and federal?
Fall Back, Spring Ahead
Smollett, Jussie, make my bed
It will get bargained down to a few misdemeanors and he'll get misdemeanor probation or some B.S. "Community Service" due to his "fame and notoriety as an actor". Remembers, boys and girls, this is Cook County.
Are they going to charge The NY Times reporters who found the “hot sauce” bottle full of bleach as accessories??? That seems to have been swept under the rug. Who were these reporters let’s put them front and center and question their credibility. What other stories are they working on or done in the past? Somebody needs to do some fact checking.
The testimony of the brothers was locked in.
Juicesy Footlongstockings is the victim.
Mentally confused and victim of a heartless, unaccepting society that lead to seeking comfort through drug use.
He needs help to.
Forbearance and forgiveness.
Let’s all take moment for him to heal.
Bite me.
16 counts of Disorderly Conducts, what’s the likelihood of at least16 Days (or hours) in DartJail?
Only one making out here is going to be the defense attorney by getting some media attention.
Though they like to talk a big game, City Hall won’t be suing for restitution.
Sanctuary City will call it a learning experience in acceptance and misjudgment.
Plus, it got Jugghaid SpecialEd boxing the clown looking for leaks.
The gullible stooge public buying into this hoax and nonsense by The FakeNews with the fermented remnants within a sole hot sauce bottle, I expect a make-for-cable show to be made.
This jerk was facing a fine and community service. Now he wants to escalate this shit through the courts and blame the police. This guy is begging for jail time. But Foxx will just ask him to avoid Chicago for a couple of weeks and ask him to be nice to her in his book.
04:04:00 AM
Nope. Never gonna happen
Believe Hippo violation is Fed crime. Hope they all have good lawyers.
Slap the naughty boys hand. The Dectective didn't have anything better to do anyways. Took 12 of them to solve what will be pleased down to a misunderstanding. No fine no conviction and every goes away happy expect the NW workers who got fired because of this POS.
They'll pick a heavy news day, sneak him into the courtroom and have him plead to misdemeanor obstruction.
Papers won't even catch it.
I’m still waiting for the Feds to nail him.
18 months probation
reimbursement 50k
will be erased from record after probation completed.
PER KEIMISHA
AND MAYOR PRICKWRINKLE
Now Smolletts lawyer says sixteen counts is overkill.....hmmm funny it wasn't overkill for JVD.
Will he do any time or will it just be probation?
Why no press conference by Crimesha? Oh right I forgot. She “recused” herself so she could go to the Oscars in LA. What a fine States Attorney we elected. I want to puke
What tells me this is going end up with nothing happening.
And it ain't gonna be like JVD with 16 charges of agg batt. They will consolidate it into one BS charge.
On a side note I retired a year ago. I am curious with the JVD shit is charging for each individual shot a charge something that the ASAs are doing now? I always thought a shooting or battery charge was all part of the same act. I don't remember from the academy this even being an option.

______________________________________________
Unless of course it was you or your family member who was looked up. What if you found out that 60 hospital employees took a look at YOUR medical records for an I.O.D. after some kind of major incident that made the news. Then it went south and your personal information was out there in the hands of 60 people. You would then sing a different tune. If it doesn't apply to your job stay out of it. Those employees had zero business digging into his hospital records.
Local charges will be swept under the carpet.Probation,rehab,book deal !..The big problem is the letter these jerks sent thru the US Mail to ABC.Major felony,teror threat ! heavy time.His shyster lawyer will bleed him dry anyway.
Ha-ha-ha! The more that comes out about this Jackass, the STOO-PID-ER Jussie Smollett appears to be.
Now we find out that Jussie told the Detective that, allegedly, he and his two attackers rolled around on the ground while 'fighting'. Which makes his holding on to that dam sammich all the more laughable.
Annnnd now we find that he told the Detective that one of his attackers was definitely White! But thanks to the hard work of a dozen (or more) detectives who tracked down the two figures on that one surveillance video, we know they were BLACK -- and weren't really attackers but co-workers and 'friends' of his who were part of his phony 'Hate Crime'.
And that tidbit proves that what he told Robin Roberts in that ABC interview -- that the two figures on that tape were definitely the 'attackers' because, as Jussie said: 'He was there.' (f--kin' moron) -- was a pack of lies. And IMHO, that tape should be part of the prosecution's evidence against this asshole.
Bottom line, with 16 Felony Counts and a possible total of 48 years in the slammer, Plea Deal or not, there's No - Way - In - Hell!!.. that this jagoff should get off without serving some time behind bars.
Not after all the time and money wasted by the Police Dept, NOT after how he tried damaging Chicago's reputation even further -- Chicago's politicians do that all on their own, and NOT after he tried 'framing' every person who voted for President Trump and still support him as Racists and Homophobes.
So no, sorry, no excuses. Jussie's next 'acting role' will be an inmate in an Illinois State Prison.
ps: Notice CWB's new name. No longer is it: 'Crime in Wrigleyville & Boystown'. Now it's; 'CWB Chicago'. And it's no longer a local Blog. Now it's a legit news outlet and being sourced by the mainstream media, The Daily Mail. So Good for CWB! (congrats guys!)
Then the Feds get their crack at him. Hate crime for letter sent through USPS containing white powder.
Are ya'll gonna apologize for gettin your panties in a bunch sayin' this won't be prosecuted, and being WRONG? Charged with 16 felonies maybe ya'll shouldn't be so dramatic
Too bad for the hospital employees. There was nothing to see in his records, because there were no injuries.
I obviously don't know, but I suspect that many of the people who accessed his records were folks who where on his side and wanted to see if the CPD was lying.
Too bad for them.
While I agree that it does seem overboard to fire sixty employees for something as “innocent” as looking his file up it’s a direct violation of HIPPA rules.
They can fight it but I highly doubt they’ll be successful.
They can all consider it a bitter and costly lesson.
There’s been coppers fired for running plates that they didn’t have a legitimate reason to run.
This isn’t that much different.
The Chicago Anthem will be the old Elvi song "IN THE GHETTO" Because that is what Chicago is going to be regardless of which one is mayor.Chicago Heights North. Every house in a decent area will be underwater
Johnson showed his cards, which are likely the same hand Foxx is playing - Johnson said perfect justice would be for Smollett to apologize and pay CPD back any funds used on the case.
Smollett won't do any time.
If it wasn't for the CPD leaks, this would have all been hushed up. Thanks to the department leaks, the brass "had" to do something about Jussie.
Can we all vote so Kim Foxx is done!
Last time someone charged with 16 counts things went pretty well for the prosecution. Remember JVD.
===================
Exactly what I was thinking. Hope he takes a jury trial. They have no choice but to find him guilty on all 16 counts after JVD....

That's ridiculous. HR departments terminate people reluctantly, thus progressive discipline, appeals process, etc. Arbitrary firings is a sure recipe for a union coming in, if not already in. And there are violations that even a union can't back. Turnover is expensive and retention of quality people is the goal.
I'm an ex hospital CFO and my wife is a health information (medical records) expert, and risk management executive. Every employee in that hospital received training at least annually on HIPAA and signed off that they understood that violation of HIPAA is a terminable offense. The liability to the hospital for breaches of patient confidentiality is potentially very high. There's just no excuse for voyeurism in medical records, no matter who the douche bag is.
Will receive four hours of community service, an apology from Ed Johnson, and a sandwich named in his honor at Subway.
Just a guess, based on the over the top press conferences designed to over sell this was all about per show salary, and the States Attorney trying to force a plea...
There is some evidence lying out there tying Senator Harris or Rep Schiff to the planned attack. Either directly, there are some joint events, or more likely through Jussie's sister. The timing of Harris's gay protection bill suggests her office may be involved.
plea?...at 1 felony..lol
What ever happened to the bottle of hot sauce. If the hot sauce don't fit, you must aquit.
3/09/2019 03:28:00 AM
The hot sauce ain't shit, so you can't acquit!
Kinda shocked at the level of charges. Still think he'll walk - OJ jury, Cook County version - but saw a great line re this POC POS, "Smollett faking his own hate crime, proves the demand for them exceeds the supply." Smart funny Zerohedge commenter a story on this.
The real crime here is when our government, by their own volition and for their own political purposes, pursues obviously fictional hate crimes but ignores real ones, the ones that are committed in Chicago every day.
(720 ILCS 5/12-7.1) (from Ch. 38, par. 12-7.1)
Sec. 12-7.1. Hate crime.
(a) A person commits hate crime when, by reason of the actual or perceived race...regardless of the existence of any other motivating factor or factors...
If I rob or carjack a white person because I think or feel that whites "got a lot of money" or "don't fight back", then I have committed a hate crime. It's almost comical how officials, sometimes at news conferences, will attempt to explain away more egregious hate crimes by coming up with "other motivating factors", when the law clearly states that these are irrelevant.
He will serve no time and will sue the CPD and NMH and settle. This is a city for the permanent victim class run by the permanent victim class and those like Rahm who will profit from the victim class.
Blacks are outraged, but not that outraged where they want him to do serious time. He will probably get two years and have to pay a $100k fine. He will do one year and get parole, then hit the media circuit where he will rail against Trump in his second term.
R. Kelly is out on bond today. An unknown admirer/friend/fan put up $161K for back child support. Let see there are now at least two people out there who have ponied up $261K between the two separate bonds. Some might consider this as investment strategies to participate Kelly's new videos once he's out of the joint. It's good to have the community still supporting you. Hey may be they can be part of the jury pool. It's the Chicago Way.

Thanks for the information. And, I get it, but why do they even have access to the medical record of someone other than the people they personally treated or where they were not part of the treatment chain and/or regimen? It seems like a long-set mouse trap, but the newly-changed cheese proved to be irresistible.
Also, is zero-tolerance the past practice or were there times when others were not fired, but disciplined? If Smollett was a decent person, he would give all 60 written permission for viewing or having viewed his record.
OT: R. Kelly's lawyer cracks me up. What is he going to do when he runs out of money? And why would he allow his client to do that interview? CBS This Morning, showed a very unstable and menacing man.

It's a good thing for everyone that you retired, now leave the heavy lifting to the professionals...
I see Jussie Smollet desperately broke inside 2 years. Dancing with the Stars, and Big Brother are his last gasp for fame. Maybe a gay bachelor series. Then it's goodbye forever I hope.
This is all beating a dead horse...Smollett isn't going to do a day in Cook County jail for any of his nonsense...let him plead guilty to the 1 count of felony D/C and move on...try to get him on the hook financially for at least some of the cost of the investigation. The rest of this (GJ) is just so much nonsense.

It's most often just based on a need to know honor system but everyone with access knows there is an audit trail available that shows each employee who accessed a specific record using their log in. Many people may have a legitimate need to access someone's records besides the hands on treatment team - registration, coders for breaking down the patient care procedures and applying codes for billing purposes, for charge audits, those who have to access doctors' orders, for billing, for follow-up, for investigating patient complaints or lawsuits, etc.
The system my wife works on has the option of adding kind of a warning step on attractive nuisance records like Smollett's which requires the person accessing the record to "break the glass" to access it and that person not only knows that their access will be reviewed but they are required to record their reason for breaking the glass prior to entering. That feature might have made some of those 60 people think twice, but my wife commented that it shouldn't have been necessary since all records are supposed to be treated the same. It's that irresistible Pandora thing.
On the possibility of people receiving warnings previously, I don't know. I think the hospital fired those people to send a message internally and externally to mitigate the hospital's culpability if Smollett turns around and sues them - just a guess. Firing 60 people, if they did, is no small thing. Hiring and getting 60 people up to speed is going to take time and those who were not fired are going to have to pick up the slack until they fill those positions. My guess is those fired were from a variety of departments from registration on through.
Off Topic: FOP why don’t you ask both PROGRESSIVE candidates for mayor of Chicago. Why don’t you want to live in Roseland,Austin, or Englewood. Now if you were to lead by example, live in the hood, send your kids to public school. That would be Progreessive!! That will never happen in CHIRAQ.
How high's the river, mama?

Well lets see if he gets some jail time and a hefty fine. He can share a cell with R Kelly.

Nonsense? Hardly!
This prick tried to light the fuse for a race war, but excellent police work discovered his story to be bullshit. He is too stupid to realize he is in a bad spot and his nuts are in a vise. He should have been begging for forgiveness and trying to make a deal when it was just the one charge, but no, he is not the least bit apologetic and is still professing his innocence. They are going to make him pay and rightly so. Pleading to one charge is no longer an option. Plus, he needed a local, savvy attorney to guide him and advise him about cutting to the chase instead of hiring some west coast glamour boy who involvement is over the phone or in television interviews from 2,000 miles away. Juicie is fucked and it is only going to get worse until he comes around to making things right.
Are they going to charge The NY Times reporters who found the “hot sauce” bottle full of bleach as accessories??? That seems to have been swept under the rug.

Well said retired guy. The new breed would pinch their mother' for burning trash for an honorable mention. It appears they have zero communication skills and feel that all citizens are jag off'. I have had zero interaction with an on duty copper since retired over 5 yrs and know I can run red lights without getting stopped by these masters of the art of L E.
They get jammed u[ doing stupid and blame the department. No respect for chain of command and think they can just go speak to the commander cause the sgt called them out for staying on a job of cdtp for 2 hours. Us old fucks did the job and never called a sgt to a scene unless we popped somebody. The city cannot find a 21-to 31 year old that can be hired.

Whoa!,,,Whoa!!!! WHOAAA!!!!!!
Wait a second1 Where is the FEDERAL indictment for Mail Fraud on Jussie?
MORE IMPORTANTLY - where is the Hate Crime for trying to accuse white male Trump Supporters??
Forget the 16 counts.
Let's see FED charges of Mail Fraud AND at LEAST 2 counts of Hate Crimes against two white straight males who did not exist - but would have been indicted, if found.
He needs REAL Jail time- not a Hollywood slap on the wrist.
As for getting good lawyers, maybe the City and County should get some lawyers who know how to apply the Law instead of political Lackeys who only dance until the organ grinder stops.
Next Case.
Oh Jussie: you gots more and more splainin to do.
Judge approves legal fees in city's losing battle over open records, bringing total to nearly $1.2 million...
per Todd Lightly, Tribune
Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s failed legal battle to keep secret government-related emails and texts that he had sent and received on his personal accounts will cost taxpayers $1.18 million following a court ruling Friday.
The Emanuel administration’s outside lawyers already have billed the city nearly $800,000 to handle the mayor’s fight with the Chicago Tribune and others over access to his emails and texts messages.
Now, those costs have gone up further. Cook County Judge Anna M. Loftus ruled Friday that the city also has to pay the Tribune’s legal bills in the case — amounting to more than $387,000.
The open records law, known as the Freedom of Information Act, allows those who successfully sue a government agency to recover their legal costs.
Loftus agreed with the Tribune’s argument that the case against Emanuel was of “great public interest” and reiterated a prior finding that the mayor and his office had violated the state’s open records act. “Tribune was clearly the prevailing party in this case,” Loftus said as she announced her ruling from the bench.
Loftus' decision is the latest setback for Emanuel in his years long battle with the Tribune over the public’s right to see emails and texts about public business that reside on government officials’ personal, electronic accounts.
Another judge, who has since retired, earlier found that Emanuel and his office violated state law by withholding emails about public business that resided on his personal accounts. That judge sided with the Tribune when she found the public records law does not distinguish between official and personal accounts so long as the matter relates to government business....
The Tribune previously reported that the Emanuel administration paid out more than $670,000 in 2016 in other lawsuits that alleged government workers repeatedly violated the Illinois open records law. That was nearly five times what the city paid in the previous eight years combined. Those lawsuits were brought by taxpayers, advocacy groups and news organizations.
In seeking its lawyer fees in its case, the Tribune argued Emanuel and the mayor’s office violated state law by withholding public records for 1½ years. Lawyers who worked on the case for the Tribune reduced their standard fees, adding that what they were seeking in reimbursement for over three years’ worth of work was more than reasonable.
“There is no question Tribune prevailed in this action, and decisively so, in the face of an opponent that, determined not to comply with what the law requires, deployed a combative litigation strategy asserting every possible legal challenge and refusing to accept the court’s conclusion that defendants were wrong on the law,” the Tribune’s attorneys argued in a court filing.
...
The Emanuel administration has already been billed $793,393.73 from the city’s outside lawyers through the end of 2018 for the Tribune and BGA cases. With the Tribune’s fees, that brings the total bill to $1,180,788.23.
That amount will only grow. The city has not received legal bills from its outside lawyers for work done so far this year.
The city has not decided whether it will appeal Loftus’ ruling. “We are disappointed in the ruling and are evaluating our options,” said Emanuel’s spokeswoman, Shannon Breymaier.
The mayor’s office refused to search for any emails or texts pertaining to city business from Emanuel’s personal cellphones or his non-city accounts.
The Tribune sued in September 2015, arguing that Emanuel and his office violated the open records act and the Local Records Act relating to the preservation of government documents, including emails and texts.
I don't know who's more corrupt. Rahm Emanuel or the Chicago Tribune.

The NYT reporter should be criminally charged. The reporter broke the law and superseded the duties and acts of a reporter. The reporter became an de facto investigator and submitted knowingly false evidence to a law enforcement agency.
Jussie wuz jes Playin, now he be Payin!
On a side note I retired a year ago. I am curious with the JVD shit is charging for each individual shot a charge something that the ASAs are doing now? I always thought a shooting or battery charge was all part of the same act. I don't remember from the academy this even being an option. So if you get into a fight and punch someone 4 times they are now separate charges? Not being sarcastic here I just don't remember that being an option in regards to charging.
You’re correct. Prior to the railroad job on JVD I had never, ever in 31 years seen someone charged with Agg Batt for every shot fired.
It was racial, political bullshit that caused that to happen.
It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch then these NWH progressive assholes.
A more anti-cop Hospital you'll never find, complete with their mall cop wannabe's.
