Kim Foxx says Jussie Smollett case shouldn't define her record as Cook County State's Attorney - abc7chicago.com

Excerpts from article:

...CHICAGO (WLS) -- Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx sat down with ABC7's Craig Wall for her first sit-down interview since special prosecutor Dan Webb re-filed charges against actor Jussie Smollett.

...When Foxx's office dropped the charges against the former "Empire" actor, they did so in exchange for community service and forfeiture of bond, but did not require him to admit guilt.

...Last week, Foxx's campaign issued a press release calling the timing of Webb's charges "political" with the election so close, while an official statement from the State's Attorney's Office was much more tame.

..."The vacating of wrongful convictions has been something I've been particularly proud of," Foxx said.

...Foxx believes based on that, and not just one case, she deserves another four years as Cook County State's Attorney.
