"We strongly encourage our members and the public to review the National District Attorneys Associations statement on prosecutorial best practices in high profile cases."
THAT'S ALL YOU WANT, Lee Roupas? FUCKING COWARDS... THEY ARE IN ON IT AS MUCH AS ANYONE ELSE.

And yet no call for an investigation into what is an obvious case of politically influenced corruption (IOW, all those things they said she did that were irregular and ethically very bad, she had to have a motivation for doing it - and what about the court judge involved in this sealing?)
And will remark that would bet a $1000 that when they say "victims of hate crimes" - they weren't talking about the actual victims of Smollett's hoax, i.e., the Trump MAGA base that he was targeting with his particular hate crime.
They had in mind the traditional Leftist image of minorities as hate crime victims - that Smollett's hoax will tend to have such cases in the future taken less seriously. They could care less about the current victims of this very obvious hate crime.

That is quite the statement by IPBA. Big deal! All it does is express their displeasure over the way this was handled. If they wanted to add any meat to the bones, they would have included actions that could be, and would be, taken on their part to counter this gross manifestation of injustice!

"honest ethical work prosecutors provide to the citizens of the State of Illinois on a daily basis" "Prosecutors must be held to the highest standard of legal ethics in the pursuit of justice."
IMO Illinois lost respect many years ago in the 'prosecutors legal ethics and pursuit of justice'!! Justice has fallen in the streets and is being trampled on!!

Seeing as there was no proper notice given, can the Chicago Police contest the sealing? Can a private citizen's group contest it?
(See the fourth paragraph above. "Additionally, the Cook County...")
The illegal manner in which the case was sealed should mean that there is some way to contest it. Does anyone know?
The Chicago PD released the documents prior to the seal anyway. Apparently they saw the seal coming and decided to thwart it by early release. Notice most news outlets ignore this..... And it's not widely known.

SMOLLETT - twisted fucks get traction either way
fail - an oppurtunity to try and save face and try and appear human once more
success - break out the champagne and double down in politics
