Jussie Smollett walked out of a Chicago prison on Wednesday night. An appeals court earlier cleared the way for his release, ordering the actor be released from jail after posting a personal recognizance bond of $150,000, and pending the appeal of his conviction for lying to police about a racist and homophobic attack.
The former "Empire" actor was surrounded by security as he exited the Cook County Jail. He did not comment as he got into an awaiting SUV, but his attorneys said he was the target of a racist justice system and people playing politics.
Smollett's attorneys had argued that he would have completed the sentence by the time the appeal process was completed and that Smollett could be in danger of physical harm if he remained in jail.

Well I guess he wasn’t suicidal.
I have no words. We are doomed.
I’d love to know who is footing the bills for his legal team and robust private security. Is the family THAT rich, or is it the entire social justice FOJ (friends of Juicy) network? Maybe the Obamas know.
The Juicy-tis system working as expected.
If he had shut his mouth when the cops advised him he could stay silent there would have been no drama and likely no jail.
Pity!
So what was the trial that found him GUILTY for ?
I’ ve always said the reason Jan 6th people are still locked up is because they committed the cardinal sin ..They showed the american people how easy it is to get to dems....
Justice is not blind. What a sh*tshow.
How was Kamala or Michelle going to support his campaign for Congress if he was in jail?
Run Jussie Run
Amen, but at least they released the guy who assaulted him at the same time; so Jussie has to keep looking over his shoulder.
Our ENTIRE country is broken beyond repair!!

Because by golly jussie smollet is super special and shouldn’t have to face ANY con sequences for his actions- EVERYONE else of course has to do the time even if it means they did their whole time before an appeals trial could be conducted- and because by golly jussie shouldn’t have to face the consequences everyone else must face if they break the law!
Indeed.
Justice system broken confirmed.
it is as though the Holy Restrainer is being removed, and lawlessness is taking over—
"Appellate court" is an inanimate object. Who cashed in their political favor chips? Who's doing what behind the curtain, and why?
Very sad knowing lots of average people are thrown in cages all the time, for a long time, for some of the most benign bull s**t imaginable. Look at all those non-violent 1/6 people for example. They're still being used as political cannon fodder while thousands who rioted, looted and committed arson in dozens of U.S. cities in 2020, walked while the cops stood and watched. And those who were arrested often had their charges dropped.
“...his attorneys said he was the target of a racist justice system ...”
Duplicitous irony
