12:20Now PlayingOn Saturday, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx effectively blamed racism for the criticism of her office dropping 16 felony counts against Empire actor Jussie Smollett. She touted being the first black woman in her role, and suggested there was a double standard behind people criticizing her handling of the case.
"I cannot run an office that is driven by anger and public sentiment," Foxx said. "I must run an office that looks at the facts, the evidence, and the law on every case. That is my responsibility."
"I am undaunted by the events of the last two weeks," the prosecutor continued. "I believe that this has sparked a reason for us to have a conversation about where we really stand on criminal justice reform, what we really believe when we talk about the rhetoric of a broken system and fixing it."
She lamented that "the efforts that I’ve had on criminal justice reform, that were once celebrated by many in this county that are now being attacked because of one case and one celebrity, I think we have to ask ourselves what is this really about?"
