		</div><p>Prosecutors say a stunning decision to drop charges against Empire star Jussie Smollett does not mean they no longer believe he staged a racial and homophobic attack against him in January.</p>
<p>First Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Magats told reporters that he still believes Smollett filed a false police report.</p>
<p>He says prosecutors “stand behind the investigation and the facts”, and added that “this was not an exoneration”.</p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/DD69E915-6BE5-4E34-8D68-55D5BB1E6679.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-128825" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/DD69E915-6BE5-4E34-8D68-55D5BB1E6679.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>A minimum requirement for the dropping of charges is typically that a defendant accepts some responsibility and offers an apology.</p>
<p>But speaking after prosecutors told a judge they were dropping all charges, Smollett conceded nothing and did not apologise.</p>
<p>He insisted he had been “truthful and consistent on every single level since day one”.</p>
