So what kind of punishment is appropriate? Prison time? Jussie will think he died and went to heaven in an all male prison, it'll be like an extended vacation in gay paradise. Something tells me he won't get much, if any prison time though, maybe pay a fine and get some kind of suspended sentence then spend the rest of his life playing (and profiting off) the black gay martyr.
... And, frankly, under Illinois law, for a class 4 felony, there’s a presumption that he should get probation,” Miller [ed: CBS 2 Legal Analyst Irv Miller] said. ... However, Miller said prosecutors might ask the judge to give Smollett up to six months in jail in addition to probation.
I will be surprised if he spends a single day in jail.
I'm no legal expert, but are there no consequences for blatantly lying on the stand as Smollett did?
And there was never any question of his guilt -- the question was would he be convicted in court.
>I'm no legal expert
I saw an opinion that because of his obvious perjury, the judge could decide on a sentence closer to the maximum possible, which would mean time behind bars.
"So what kind of punishment is appropriate?"
A year in Cook county jail probably. He will feel right at home among the "brothers".
