Jussie Smollett conviction upheld by appeals court, likely will return to prison

JTN– Actor Jussie Smollett is likely headed back to prison after an appeals court Friday upheld the disorderly conduct convictions against him. 

Smollett was convicted in 2021 of faking a racist and homophobic attack in 2019, then lying to the Chicago police about it. 

His attorneys appealed that conviction and argued that he should not have been punished twice for the same crime, according to ABC Chicago.

The Illinois Appellate Court ruled in a 2-1 opinion to uphold the conviction.  more

  1. “Smollett was most well known for starring in the TV show, “Empire.””

    Not anymore.

    The police and Chicago’s court system owes their taxpayers a boat load of money for all this waste. The police KNOW Smollet’s story stunk like a fish on a radiator for 2 days before Smollet even finished telling it to them.

  2. LOL! Justice may be served after all and Juicey Smugett will be served up to one of the linebacker “girls” in a men’s prison. That might not be fun.

    Cook County correction facilities are some of the worst. Those one hundred plus days in prison for Juicey are going to seem like one hundred years!
