    One step closer to having to answer for your hoax, Jussie. The defense should probably start considering seeking a deal involving turning witness against DA Kim Foxx because Smollett isn't the only one that needs to be investigated.

    I think false flag attacks should be severely prosecuted.
    Just like hate crime aggravates any criminal charge, staged false flag attacks should bear the same consequence as they cause as much damage to race relations as any hate crime.
    I think 10 years with general prison population would be the proper sentence for Smollett.

    I'd love it if he did some prison time. All he did was hurt race relations.

    Hoax crimes are hate crimes. Smollet singled out people of a specific race and political affiliation.

    An example needs to be made of him.

    More even handed justice handed down from what I assume is a pretty liberal court

    I'd like to know how much it cost him to get to the supreme court of the state.

    Great decision.

    He should face justice.

    Still he is gonna most likely skate with a fine, probation, and restitution.

    Jussie, by design, could have ignited a "race war"
    and general "riots" ala Ferguson, Missouri.


    This is not a "minor crime".

    At least Weinstein's successful actresses knew what the casting couch was!

    I don't think that Cook County even has the jail space to waste on him.

    Unless they made him do a short weekend just to say that he "did time".

    I bet they’ll find a spot for him in state prison instead.

    Not a chance.

    Most likely a fine, probation, and more restitution for the cost of investigation.

    Now for the burning question. How is Empire doing without Smollet? The first episodes after Smollet were dry. There was an uncomfortable void that made the episodes unsatisfying. Smollet was the best male vocalist on the show. He took to the stage frequently and anticipating his performance had been a highlight of every show.

    V Bozeman earned best female vocalist and made audiences tune in for more after her mesmerizing opening scene rehearsal of "'What IS love?" in the production studio during Empire's epic debut. Records were shattered as word about the night time soap opera/musical spread and audiences grew week by week. But I digress.

    Empire's final season continued after its typical months long break this week and I was stunned that this time, Smollet's abscence wasn't felt. The writer's are top notch and the plot twists were so suspenseful, the other characters so engaging that somehow we managed not to miss a main character who was not only integral to the storyline but the heart of the show. That's quite a feat.

    Although the ratings are probably down and this is the final season, I look forward to watching every week. I can tell that the episodes are going to be stellar and there has already been talk of a spin-off. Great! I hope that Smollet learns from this experience.

    This scum needs to be behind bars where he can have “fun” with the boys.

    The most hilarious aspect of Smollet's race hoax was the notion that two racist crackers would recognize a gay black actor on a show that no racist cracker would watch in a million years.

    A testament to Juicy's delusions of grandeur.

    It's about time to have some fun about the situation. How can one not? A black gay guy hires two black Nigerians to assault him so he can lie about white guys assaulting him. I don't know if he supposed to be a victim because he's black or because he's gay.

    Here's to fake hate crimes:

    Indeed, during sentencing, what should be taken into consideration is that what Smollett did WAS a hate crime.

    The oscar has to go to the one wearing glasses, just for long endurance in staying in character.

    As others have said, those who allege being the victim of hate crimes ultimately proven to be fake, should be prosecuted as if they committed the hate crime themselves.

    Yes, but considering that the political Left ended up paying her over a million dollars for her 'performance' doesn't that transfer her into the professional category whereas the others are more amateurish as liars and agitators? Or wait . . . were you talking about the drum thumper instead of Ford?

    Meanwhile if we look at actual federal data on interracial crime, we find this....

    And this...

    The media has distorted reality so badly that the vast majority of Americans are completely unaware of these stats and actually believe that white people are preying on minorities. Unbelievable.

    This was a legit hate crime. No way to skirt around the issue. So it should be prosecuted as such and he should be forced to pay back every dime he cost the city.
