LATEST: FBI reviewing why charges were dropped against 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett.
, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel blasted the move Wednesday, saying all the evidence police collected against the TV star should be unsealed as the FBI opened a review of the disposition of the case.
In an interview with ABC News, Foxx said Smollett qualified for alternative prosecution because he doesn't have a history of violence, lacks a criminal record and was charged with a class four felony, which is one step above a misdemeanor. She said her office would rather put resources towards prosecuting violent criminals.
"My sole activity was to put the chief prosecutor in the case in touch with an alleged victim’s family who had concerns about how the investigation was being characterized in public," Tchen said in a statement. After releasing the reports -- a small portion of a total investigation file described as being about eight inches thick -- the Chicago police received a judge-imposed gag order barring them from releasing more case documents and from even discussing the investigation, according to Anthony Guglielmi, the police department's spokesman.
"Let's get to the bottom of this. Let's find out what happened," Emanuel said. "Especially [in] a city that embraced not only him as an actor but more importantly the values of being whoever you are, whoever you love, whatever your background is, you have a home here. He took that, turned it around and tried to self-promote himself.
