On December 9, 2021 actor Jussie Smollett was convicted of hoaxing a hate crime against himself, and in the course of that hoax made multiple false reports to the police. On March 11, 2022, Smollett was sentenced after the Judge stated to Smollett “you’re just a charlatan pretending to be a victim of a hate crime, and that’s shameful.” The Judge further stated that Smollett has “done real damage to victims of hate crimes” and that he “lied and kept lying”. The Judge sentenced Smollett to 150 days in jail, 30 months of Felony probation, a fine of $25,000, and restitution of a little over $130,000 to the city of Chicago reduced for the $10,000 in forfeited bail bond that Smollett previously paid. On March 16, 2022, the Appellate Court granted Smollett’s request to stay (pause) his sentence pending appeal and he was released from custody. This case feels like it’s been a whirlwind since it started and we need to take a look at everything that has happened to have context for the arguments on appeal and what will happen next.
