After the ruling came down, reporters waited for several hours in the circuit court clerk’s office — which maintains the criminal records — for the documents in the case to be scanned. In the end, however, little new was revealed — not surprising since Foxx’s office had abruptly dropped the 16-count indictment against Smollett just less than three weeks after he was charged. In fact, the majority of the 192-page file consisted of the media’s motions objecting to the sealing of the file in the first place.

But the judge’s ruling still could have a significant impact. The Chicago Police Department and the Cook County state’s attorney’s office had both denied public records requests on the grounds that the file was sealed. After the seal was lifted, Foxx’s office said it was reviewing its records and expected to release more documents by June 3.

Once again Smollett is the cause of his own downfall, with the judge writing:
“These are not the actions of a person seeking to maintain his privacy or simply be let alone,” Watkins said in a 10-page ruling that he read aloud in court. “While the court appreciates that (Smollett) was in the public eye before the events that precipitated this case, it was not necessary for him to address this so publicly and to such an extent. By doing so, the court cannot credit his privacy interest as good cause to keep the case records sealed.”

False claims of serious shit like rape and hate crimes really need to be treated much more seriously, otherwise real victims end up suffering the consequences when nobody takes them seriously.
It's utterly disgusting how people use those allegations just to rack up fame and shit or to fuck up other people's lives.

Most people laughed at him, so it ended up back firing. Though it should come with legal consequence.

however I'm sure plenty still believed his shit. It's a ridiculous situation.
