Jussie Smollett learned his fate Thursday after a judge delivered the terms of his sentence following a contentious four hours in a Chicago courtroom.
Mere minutes after being ordered into custody to begin serving 150 days in jail, the actor addressed the court one last time – despite the fact he said prior to having his sentence read that he had nothing to say.
The former "Empire" star, 39, stood up and affirmed his innocence in a passionate declaration to Cook County Judge James Linn, saying, "I'm not suicidal."
"I respect you, your honor," Smollett said as he placed his hands together in a gesture toward the bench. "I respect your decision. Jail time? I am not suicidal. ... If anything happens to me in there I did not do it to myself!"
Smollett was then surrounded by sheriff’s deputies before he was led away from the courtroom – but not before raising his right fist in the air on the way out.
In addition to the jail time, Linn also sentenced Smollett to 30 months of felony probation. Smollett was also ordered to pay $120,106 in restitution to the city of Chicago.

Severe mental illness and criminal records are never a hindrance to leftist's.
LOL! Are you sure he wasn't just trying rig a back up for his garage door opener?
Why would that matter? She has been banged by so many men to advance her career and wealth that I imagine her cylinder is nearly worn out.
Yes, I'm sure we will hear that Juicy was raped and beaten in prison by two Trump supporting convicts who told him "this is a MAGA cell block!".
“As he was brought into custody to begin his sentence, Smollett shouted that he is innocent but not suicidal, so any harm that may come to him while in custody will not be self-inflicted.”
This is proof that his actions in this crime were done for the purposes of some others.
He is worried that he will be silenced prior to appeals.
I didn’t pay much attention to this trial, but was there any reason other than “race” baiting given for his actions?
He had a lot to lose by pulling a dumb stunt like this. Obviously he is a dim bulb, but was he trying to gain favor with someone else for doing it? He sure seems like the type.
Is his 92 year old “grandma” going with him?
...and a queer.
I imagine there are more than an handful of bull queers literally licking their chops in anticipation of making Jussie’s acquaintance. Suspect he is going to be very popular (and sore) for the duration of his stay in county jail.
He had forged a racist letter to himself and was furious his TV bosses shrugged it off.
Thus the noose attack was staged.......all to get himself a raise.
Just to rule out the possibility, investigators should check his cell phone records to see if he exchanged any text messages with Bubba Wallace prior to the night in question.
I’m going off of memory, but I think the judgement called for 120K in “restitution” and a 50K fine.
I have heard that he may have staged it to help Kamala get her anti noose law through Congress.
I doubt that would have been mentioned in trial. It may be a reason to worry if you are in the pokey.
I think it should have been $1 mil.....Let’s face it...it was like yelling fire in a theatre.
He got off easy.
Perhaps he thinks he will be Epsteined?
Well, he certainly earned his bones with the jail time. (Er...wait a minute.)
“was simply putting ‘the chief prosecutor in the case in touch with an alleged victim’s family’ “
Because...the chief prosecutor in the case didn’t have access to the perp’s family? Bullshit!
He has a massive ego. Who does he think wants to kill him? No body cares about him. Is he holding secrets that will bring down half of congress and the media...i don’t think so. Such a child. He’s a person that has never been told no and has always been told how wonderful he is.
Humm. A clenched fist....Power salute? Or down low preference signalling to future cellmates?
