The letter delivered to Jussie Smollett and his attorney by the Chicago’s legal department says, “The amount is to be paid as detectives and officers worked overtime for getting to a conclusion in terms of this case”. The overtime was taken by these officials to review videos, physical evidences, and conducting interviews.
