'It's going to be very difficult for the city to prevail in making a case my client should pay for overtime for a case ultimately dismissed by the state's attorney,' Smollett's attorney stated.
to dismiss the city of Chicago's attempt to recover more than $130,000 needed to investigate what they believe was a fake racist and homophobic attack against Smollett.when he claimed he was attacked in late January by two men wearing"Make America Great Again" caps. Smollett claimed he was beaten and called racial and homophic slurs. According to an investigation by Chicago police, Smollett allegedly paid two men to fake the attack.
Once Smollett's manager realized police were recording the interview, they asked the video to be turned off. William J. Quinlan of the Quinlan Law Firm filed the motion Tuesday, and he said it's"ridiculous" his client should pay the amount the city is demanding. U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall said last month that in October she will decide if the city should proceed with its lawsuit to recover its costs from the investigation.
