The chances of him serving a year in prison are less than the chances that all the air in the room you are in right now spontaneously rushing to an isolated corner and suffocating you. It could happen, but the odds are vanishingly small.
Even though the evidence and testimony appear to be a sure thing, I’ll be surprised if there is anything but a hung jury.
Remember the nature and location of that local jurisdiction...
OJ is free as a bird today!
I said it on another thread. Smollet has committed the unpardonable sin of embarrassing the Powers That Be here in Chicago, including the Mayor. He’s fresh out of friends and he’s gonna pay.
We have had over 200 shootings and 50 murders, including a 1 year old boy. This clown wasted thousands of hours of police time and hundreds of thousands of dollars in resources.
No, he’s gonna serve some serious time. And that’s if the Feds don’t claim him first.

I think for him to get zero jail-time....he’ll have to pay for the police investigation, court-costs, and admit he has some kind of drug issue/mental issue requiring 30 days in some facility/rehab center. You go and figure police and court time and costs....I’d figure it’s around $60,000 spent at this point.
I would be curious about the two pretender-Nigerian brothers (they were actually born in the US and grew up in Chicago). I think they want zero jail-time, and will go to any length to avoid it.
