Via Billy Bearden

                            

Jussie Smollett, the former star of “Empire” who ignited a firestorm in 2019 when he claimed to be the victim of a homophobic and racist assault, was convicted on Thursday of five counts of lying to the police about the incident. He was acquitted on a sixth charge.

Smollett faced six counts of “disorderly conduct,” a Class 4 felony in Illinois — a relatively minor offense. The charges carry a potential maximum sentence of three years in prison, but are more likely to result in a sentence of probation.

  2. Surprise. The probation option is probably the key to understanding the outcome in Illinois. Or to quote a classical philosopher, "What a maroon!" He will still get some action from the faux documentary that is undoubtedly in the works. This is more proof that the legal system never gives a "Black man" a break, even if he has an approved kink.

  3. What about the perjury that he can be charged with? That I guess would have to be decided by the judge?

  4. Where are all of the "public figures" that were so vocal about supporting him through every media forum that would support their idiotic rants?
