Kim Foxx's Legacy and Departure Amid Jussie Smollett Scandal

Kim Foxx, the controversial state attorney of Chicago, has announced that she will not seek re-election after a six-year tenure marked by criticism over her "soft-on-crime" policies and the Jussie Smollett scandal. Foxx has been a lightning rod for rows between supporters of criminal justice reform and those who say lax policies have sparked a breakdown in law and order. She admitted her time in office will forever be linked to the mishandling of the Jussie Smollett case, in which prosecutors were found to have committed "substantial operational failures".
