Jussie Smollett Sentenced To 150 days In Jail In Fake Attack
“Your honor, I respect you and I respect the jury, but I did not do this,” Smollett said Thursday. “And I am not suicidal. And if anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself.”
The actor’s allegation that two men wearing ski masks attacked him and hurled racial and homophobic epithets at him on a dark Chicago street before fleeing may put an end — pending appeals — to more than three years of legal wrangling following his police report that two men dressed in ski masks assaulted him.
Smollett’s lawyers have announced that they will appeal both the jury’s guilty verdict and the court’s sentence.
In a statement on Friday, the Cook County Sheriff’s Office said Smollett is being held in protective custody, typical for inmates “who may potentially be at risk of harm due to the nature of their charges, their professions or their noteworthy status.”
According to the police, Smollett has his own cell guarded by cameras and a deputy stationed at the door who is wearing a body camera. Smollett will be able to spend “significant time” in common areas to use the phone, watch TV, and talk with employees; however, other detainees will not be allowed in common spaces with him.
Smollett was sentenced to between three and five years in prison for each of the five felony counts of disorderly conduct — the charge for which he was held guilty. A sixth count was dropped. Lightfoot, the mayor of Chicago, praised the sentence, stating that it sends a message that “falsifying or making false claims” would not be tolerated.
“The city feels vindicated in today’s ruling that he is being held accountable and that we will appropriately receive restitution for his actions,” she said in a statement.
Smollett’s sentence includes an order to repay $120,106 to the city and a $25,000 fine.
Smollett was convicted in a December jury trial, where witnesses included two brothers who told jurors Smollett paid them to carry out the attack and gave specific directions on what to do and say.
Smollett, who knew the men from his work on the television show “Empire” that filmed in Chicago, testified that he did not recognize them and did not know they were the men attacking him.
