Jussie Smollett was working on a plea deal over allegations he staged a hate attack on himself, one month before charges were dropped.
The 'Empire' star was told in March he wouldn't be charged over allegations he orchestrated a racist and homophobic attack on himself in January, but just one month before prosecutors decided to drop the charges against the star, they had reportedly told police they were going to pursue a plea deal, including a fine and community service time.
According to a mammoth 460-page document that was released, prosecutors told Chicago police detectives just days after Jussie's arrest that he would be let off the alleged crimes with a $10,000 fine and an undefined amount of time in community service.
However, the documents show there was no mention of dropping the charges against the actor, and detectives only discovered they "could no longer investigate the crime" when Jussie was indicted on disorderly conduct charges on February 28, a month after his initial claims were made.
