Pay up **** up...
You knew the Jussie story would disappear as soon as the faking of it became obvious.
Being stupid can be HORRENDOUSLY expensive.
Good !!!
Once again federal charges are not mentioned here. Or have the Fed’s decided not to pursue charges from using the US mail for Fraud and Terrorist purposes.
The only way to convict him without question is tie him to the letter.
Are his fingerprints or DNA found UNDER the letter?
Did he lick the envelope leaving DNA?
Is his DNA found UNDER the stamps?
Only physical evidence is going to convict him. There are already too many conflicting accounts to make the charges stick otherwise.
Big possibilities for him at his new job with Snopes, he'll "fit right in".
Fines and real jail time would be nice for a change.
Wedding bells in his future. He’s gonna be a popular prison wife.
One thing that’s been made crystal clear in this mess is that Smollet is a frikkin’ idiot.
"Make Smollett pay for the investigation?" There's a form for that.
From link:
Should Smollett be convicted of filing a false police report as charged, a mundane piece of paper known as report #CPD-61.230, the “Cost Recovery Incident Form,” may be the police department’s first step in recovering the costs of its investigation of Smollett’s purported hoax.
Chicago ordinance authorizes the city to seek compensation, for wages and benefits of city personnel, attorneys, costs of equipment and materials, and “any other costs allocable to the provision of services” in a variety of situations.
And the first “situation” on the city’s list of recoverable incidents is “the deployment of police to respond and provide service as a result of a person’s false reporting of a crime.”
Federal authorities are investigating the origin of a white powder-covered threat letter that Smollett received at his TV show’s production facilities on the West Side one week before he reported being brutally attacked in Streeterville.
Whoever mailed that letter is likely to be charged with, among other things, creating a hoax terroristic threat. And they'll face a double-whammy.
The city, of course, will be in a position to pursue all costs involved in that case, including the deployment of fire department HAZMAT units.
And 18 U.S. Code § 1038, “False information and hoaxes,” specifically states that—in addition to a potential five years in prison—anyone convicted of the charge “is liable in a civil action to any party incurring expenses incident to any emergency or investigative response to that conduct, for those expenses.”
And the law goes on to say that the sentencing court “shall” order reimbursement, not that it “may.”
He’ll take an Alford plea.
Soon to be poor Jussie... And the really bad news is Walmart is phasing out its greeters and there’s really nothing else he’s qualified for. Second or third rate acting might still be a possibility on some straight to video B movies if he does the thing on his knees for a Gay producer I guess.
My guess is this...
Nothing will happen. It’s Chicago, Jake. Jussie is a black homosexual liberal Hollywood “star” who knows all the right people. If he gets a slap on the wrist, I will eat my words (electrons).

Whatever sentence “real” perpetrators of his fantasy “hate” crime would have received would be sufficient.
He had better pay for ever penny of money spent on his hoax. I trust he finds himself penniless.
He needs to be destroyed and in public so all can see there are consequences for hoaxes.
