Nice. Dolph went way up in my book when I saw what he accomplished education-wise.
It got me to a point where I could almost forgive him for being Ivan Drago. Almost.
I still need to see Creed2. Heard nothing but good things.BallerStaf2003 said:Humorous Username said:

Ivan Drago was way more human in Creed 2. Actually liked his character.

No. Twitter links have been having hell loading on any forums across TexAgs. Apparently it's happening elsewhere too and it's something that Twitter screwed up on their embedding. If you refresh it, it may show up.ChipFTAC01 said:

New documents released by Chicago police Thursday show Jussie Smollett discussing drugs with the two brothers who accused the "Empire" actor of paying them to stage an attack on him.
The texts were among the 460 pages released by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office and Chicago Police Department Thursday after a judge ordered Smollett's case file unsealed last week.
The documents show that Smollett initially communicated with Abimbola 'Abel' and Olabinjo "Ola Osundairo about buying marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy before enlisting them to stage his alleged attack on Jan. 29. The brothers later told Chicago police that Smollett paid them to stage the attack on him.
"It was found during the review of these text records that on various occasions Smollett would request that (redacted) procure items for Smollett which Smollett described as weed, molly, or Whitney, which the (case report) was familiar with being slang for cannabis and controlled substances," the documents read. "In particular, weed is slang for cannabis, molly is slang for ecstasy and whitney is slang for cocaine."
The report notes that Smollett used the electronic payment methods PayPal and Venmo to pay for the transactions, and that on multiple occasions, Smollett appeared to describe his payment to the brothers for the drugs as payment for "legitimate expenses" like personal training......

So since the charges were dropped, does he just get away Scott free or can they charge him again?

I thought if he wasn't actually prosecuted and acquitted it wouldn't be double jeopardy.

Think Double Jeopardy may play in. Federally is a different matter. I'd love to see him get hit with a hate crime charge.

I thought that applied to trial or struck a plea? If he never had a plea then how could there be double jeopardy?

Was there a plea deal?
Both the prosecution and defense danced around whether Smollett made a deal with prosecutors. (Presumably, Smollett did not want to admit guilt, and prosecutors wanted to avoid conceding the alternative.)
...
"Had there been no forfeiture of his bond to the City of Chicago or community service, we would not have dismissed the charges," Ellis said.
