Court orders Jussie Smollett release from jail during appeal – WGNTV (Chicago)

The appeals court, in a 2-1 decision, said Smollett could be released after posting a personal recognizance bond of $150,000, meaning he doesn’t have to put down money but agrees to come to court as required.

Didn’t see this one coming – but, then again, didn’t see charges being dropped in the first place.

Chicago isn’t the butt of enough jokes yet, eh?

Years past Chicago was known for Capone and the St. Valentine’s Day massacre. Now Chicago’s known for gun violence, unsafe streets (even the once Great Street), muggings, robberies, high taxes, big-ticket retail theft gangs, carjacking, incarcerated/indicted politicians and Jussie Smollet.

Deal with that, tourism board.
