Cook County Judge Michael Toomin's appointment of former U.S. Attorney Dan Webb raises
CHICAGO — A Chicago judge on Friday named a special prosecutor to look into why state prosecutors abruptly dropped charges against actor Jussie Smollett that accused him of staging a racist, anti-gay attack against himself.
Webb told reporters after Friday's hearing that he was heading into the investigation with no preconceived notions about an outcome. A former state appellate judge, Sheila O'Brien, petitioned for a special prosecutor, leading to Toomin's surprise ruling in June that one was warranted. Story continuesIn his June ruling, Toomin suggested that the county's state's attorney, Kim Foxx, mishandled the Smollett case by appointing a top aide to oversee it after she recused herself.
