Kim Foxx’s No. 2 Lanier loses bid for bench in Cook County – Cook County Record

Risa Lanier gained notoriety in 2019, when she handled the prosecution of Jussie Smollett, a gay black actor who is accused of faking a hate crime which he blamed on white supporters of former President Donald Trump in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood. While much of the attention in the matter focused on Foxx's handling of the situation, it was Lanier and then-First Assistant State's Attorney Joseph Magats who officially dropped the charges, saying it would be enough for Smollett to forfeit a $10,000 bond and perform community service.

Doesn’t matter because if a vacant in a judgeship opens up the incompetent Foxx assistant will be appointed to serve out the remainder of the term and then run for election at the next cycle. The cabal of democrat politicians have it all figured out.
