Jussie Smollett could face more than a decade in prison

You should be a Judge. I'd say that kind of sentence may be about right, especially #3: 200 hours community service working in local emergency rooms, so he can see real victims that the police couldn’t help because they were wasting manpower chasing down his lies.

[gcparent]

Who wrote mailed the letter and the white substance?

[Mark17]

OJ is free as a bird today!

I wonder if his lawyers will tell him NOT to accept any plea bargain, and dare them to find 12 jurors who won't do jury nullification?

[maddog55]

He'll be lucky if he gets a hand slap.. instead of turning himself in they should have sent a swat team in at 5:30am and arrested his ass..

I just assumed it was Smollett himself. He thought that would, by itself, launch his new level of stardom as America's newest greatest victim of trump-era racism. When that firecracker fizzled, he recruited a couple of extras accomplices to stage a bigger show.

If he got them to write and send the threat, they've got bigger problems.

[SMARTY]

I’d love to see the final tally ($$$$$$$$$$)for what his whole sham cost taxpayers.

Anyway-don’t YOU try it!

[VideoPaul]

Stand by “music” lovers. Here comes the JAILHOUSE RAP!!!

[Beagle8U]

What does that mean? Drop the soap or hang yourself?

[Carl Vehse]

Smollet has his race card. He’ll get community service.

[Go Gordon]

He’ll get probation. Should be jail time-30 days minimum to prove a point

He allegedly mailed white powder through the postal service. That's a 10 year minimum sentence and the postal service takes these things seriously.

The message needs to be sent to would-be hoaxers: Get caught, go to jail for a significant duration.

[LouAvul]

He could face a lot of things. But, he's black. A fag. A liberal.

Nah. He'll walk.

[Go Gordon]

2. Required to fully admit to the hoax, with no qualifiers

Including anyone that requested him to do it, or other collaborators (Kamala, Corey, etc.)

[miss marmelstein]

Community service will be reading Heather Has Two Mommies (or its male equivalent) during the kiddie hour at the local library.

[Fresh Wind]

I’ll be happy with any jail time at all.

I predict zero time. Gay black democRat celebritards don’t go to jail.

[joma89]

He had better be handed a harsh sentence to send a signal to future hoaxers. However, since he is a protected class of person, the useful idiots of chicago will most likely let him off the hook with nary a warning.

All animals are equal just some are more equal than others.

JoMa

[samtheman]

OJ jury. Exactly.

Our best chance of any justice is him freaking out and rolling on Kamala.

I’d take that.

[IronJack]

Dream on. He won’t get more than a stern talkin’-to.

Black fag privilege.

[mad_as_he$$]

Notice how this case broke wide open within hours of the one prosecutor recusing herself.

[Dandy]

I would like to go see him in prison and bring him a noose.

[Cowboy Bob]

Juissie has a purdy smile. He’ll be very popular in the pen.
