(CNN) It's been a week since Jussie Smollett was arrested, charged with a felony and subsequently released after paying a $10,000 bond. Now the rest of his legal case awaits -- and his career with it. Steven Goldman, another defense attorney in Chicago, told CNN it will be difficult for police to agree to a plea deal with Smollett because of the intense publicity here. No matter how his legal case turns out, Smollett's career prospects beyond "Empire" will be limited in the immediate future. "I don't believe that Jussie Smollett, regardless of if he takes a plea or not, has a career in Hollywood," he said.
