Jussie Smollett Sentenced to 150 days
[Yahoo] Former "Empire" star Jussie Smollett
...Cable TV actor whose primary talents seemed to be being black and being homosexual. In a bid for national attention, he paid a pair of Nigerian brothers to rough him up a little so he could claim that two large, white, MAGA hat-wearing men had shouted This is MAGA country! while thumping him at 2:30am on a bitter cold night in Chicago and throwing bleach on him, presumably to lighten him up. The story quickly unraveled, and he became a laughingstock and the poster boy for pretend victimization and attention whoredom...

Former "Empire" star Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in jail, 30 months felony probation and to pay restitution to the city of Chicago, and a fine of $25,000 on Thursday, after he was found guilty last December on charges that he staged a hate-crime attack against himself in 2019. Judge James B. Linn stated that the evidence against Smollett was "overwhelming" and that the jury’s verdict in his case was "correct."

Smollett, who had waived his right to comment before the verdict, announced he was "not suicidal" and "innocent." He repeatedly stated that he is "not suicidal," insisting that if anything happens to him in jail, that he would never take his own life.

Linn rejected the defense’s request for a new trial after arguments were made by his lawyers at the lengthy sentencing hearing...

"There is nothing I can do here that can come close to the damage you’ve done to your own life," Linn told Smollett before issuing his verdict, adding he took the actor-singer’s character into account in making his decision, as well as the glowing endorsements from Jesse Jackson and Derrick Johnson.
