Disgraced actor Jussie Smollett may be going back to jail soon as an appeals court upheld his convictions related to a 2019 hate crime hoax on Friday.
The “Empire” star, 41, was convicted in 2021 of five felony counts of disorderly conduct related to the alleged racist, homophobic attack and sentenced to 150 days behind bars. He served just six days of the sentence while the appeal was pending.
Smollett challenged the role of the special prosecutors, the jury selection, evidence, and other aspects of the case against him – but the convictions were ultimately upheld in 2-1 opinion from the Illinois Appeal Court. The California native – who made his big screen debut in 1992’s “The MIghty Ducks” – made headlines in 2019 when he reported to Chicago police that he was the victim of a homophobic and racist attack by two men wearing ski

150 days? For five felonies?
A juicy opinion....
They were the good kind of felonies.
A memory refresher .... it was about 2 am with wind and 0-degree temps in the liberal part of town when the 2 Trump supporters wearing red Trump baseball caps, spotted the bundled-up Smollett clutching a just-purchased Subway tuna sub.
The attackers supposedly recognized Smollett from a TV show that no Trump supporter in his right mind would have ever seen.
The two musclemen attacked the skinny actor Smollett with a handy container of bleach they were carrying “just in case” a 2 am situation like this ever arose.
And, after the strongarm attack by the two big guys, wonder of wonders, Smollett emerged, unscathed.....with his tuna sub firmly in his hand, ready to eat once he got home......after calling the cops.
It’s a miracle!
Hey......Smollett musta lived a good life -——— until the attack scheme.
At least then I'd be able to spit in Juicy Smoooyeah's direction when I walk by on my way to work ...
I wonder what his siblings, who are also in the industry, feel about a this?
C(r)ook County judges are letting murderers and felons with multiple shooting/gun felonies and records miles long free w/o bond in Chicago, c’mon man!
...protected by Cook County Prosecutor Kim Foxx, who turned out to be a Soros plant...
She’s staying under the radar........wont dare show her Dem face.
Dave Chappelle’s piece on this, utterly destroyed any chance of his lies being believed.
No way Juicy goes to jail...not gonna happen!
Grandmammy gonna have to come back and read the riot act to the “judge” again to get her little Jussie Froot out of jail again.
Wasn’t he working out an anti-lynching law with Kamala Harris before this happened, and wasn’t it made federal law? They both should go to prison forever for conspiring to create race riots.
When was lynching actually legal?
How many people have been lynched in the last 20 years?
You forgot how lucky he was that the rope the perps were carrying just in case of a 2am episode was too short to actually hang him by, because it was only about necktie length, just coincidentally of course.
2-1
Whoever voted to overturn is not a serious jurist and is 100% a political partisan.
