Experts believe it is likely he will strike a plea deal and potentially not spend time in prison.
Gee, who are the "experts" telling the media that?
The lying homosexual has powerful friends, and he will skate.
If he was a Trump supporting Republican, they would give him 20 years and throw him into solitary.

After garnering a host of press attention for a supposed anti-black, anti-gay attack from supposed random supporters of President Trump, involving a noose, Hollywood actor Jussie Smollett looks pretty washed up now that a couple of Nigerians have been implicated by the Chicago cops in the perpetration of a hoax, supposedly to garner sympathy.
But another Hollywood guy, a film producer named Tariq Nasheed, who also goes by hip-hop rapper-like names of ‘K-Flex’ and ‘King Flex,’ thinks this isn’t the end of the story. He smells a political rat.
His series of tweets raises suspicions that the political response to the matter, led by Democratic presidential candidates Kamala Harris (and Cory Booker), is suspicious, real suspicious, and there might have been a staged set-up in order to get a law passed and rack up voter points. ...”
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris appeared to be caught off guard Monday when she was asked about the latest developments in the alleged attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett.
During an appearance at a bookstore in Concord, N.H., a female reporter asked the senator from California if she wanted to amend a tweet from Jan. 29, in which she said Smollett was the victim of “an attempted modern day lynching” and called the actor “one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know.” Harris has also used the Smollett attack to push legislation that would make lynching a federal hate crime.
“Which tweet? What tweet?” Harris asked. As the reporter specified the tweet in question, Harris appeared to look around for a campaign staffer before responding.
“OK, so, I will say this about that case,” she said. “I think that the facts are still unfolding, and, um, I’m very, um, concerned about obviously, the initial, um, allegation that he made about what might have happened.
And it’s something we should all take seriously whenever anyone, um, alleges that kind of behavior, but there should be an investigation,” Harris added. “And I think that once the investigation has concluded then we can all comment, but I’m not going to comment until I know the outcome of the investigation.”
“Kamala Harris had no problem using inflammatory rhetoric to tie the #JussieSmollettHoax to @realDonaldTrump & his supporters,” Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel tweeted late Monday. “Now that she has the facts, why can’t she even remember her divisive language? Why is she giggling about it?” ...”
I imagine he’ll use the Hillary “I didn’t Intend To Do it” Clintoon defense. “I was just sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.” And then the “experts” will be hitting the Sunday morning gabfests stating that it’s not illegal to “lynch” yourself. The bobbleheads will be shaking their heads like they haven’t got a lick of sense. “Oh yeah. I never thought of that.”
