So, Jessie Smollett is not guilty and prosecutors have erased all traces of their victimizing campaign against him. Of course, the men that actually did attack Mr. Smollett walked and cannot be charged again because of double jeopardy. 

There is a lot wrong here. The Chicago Mayor needs to investigate the issues surrounding the entire episode.

The reason the two men who attacked Jessie Smollett were released with charges dropped is because of a story they told. What prosecutors didn't do in this case is maintained the charges of assault and battery. They committed the crime.

Let's say everything they said was true. There is a difference between carrying out a crime as opposed to reporting the intended fraud to the police. The men carried out the crime. Those charges should never have been discharged without due process.
