From article. people have gone to prison for a lot less. Hope the little vermin gets several years:
The grand jury returned two separate sets of charges. The first set are related to what Smollett told officers about the alleged attack, including that the attackers called him racial and homophobic slurs, struck him with their hands, put a noose around his neck, and poured some sort of chemical substance on him.
The second set of charges are related to the second interview Smollett had with police about the alleged attack later that day.
The new set of charges each carry a possible sentence of probation to four years. Smollett already pleaded not guilty to the first disorderly conduct charge. He was taken into custody and posted $100,000 bond to be freed.
Experts believe it is likely he will strike a plea deal and potentially not spend time in prison.

No, it’s confusing and vague right now because of conflicting stories.
Think it thru though, about the fake letter, calling the cops...
I can see 16 charges... I think...

The very words “racist” and “homophobic” have been sanctified......and now possess a political power......true or not.....
to be lobbed at perceived enemy lines like artillery shells. In his small mind, Smollett is heroic. The "oppressor" is the one to blame.
He is sitting pretty.......awaiting The Big Payoff. Smollett's GMA act was flawless.
=====================================
Jussie Smollett's victimized personna fought like blazes to get a TV interview. ABC's GMA obliged him. Smollett
was a picture-perfect, fighting-mad victim as he spoke to unblinking true believer Robin Roberts on ABC's GMA.
Smollett reinvented himself as an especially fierce kind of victim, a cool hero. “I fought the f**k back,” he told believer Roberts.
And, miracle of miracles, while Smollett was fighting off hate-filled attackers, he never once lost control of his Subway tuna sandwich.

when someone files a false report or sets up a fake crime their sentence should equal what real criminals would get had they actually committed the crime.

Why are they saying that was his motive? How would they know if he is still claiming he’s innocent?
I believe his motive was = Trump and Trump supporters are racist. He didn’t think he’d be caught because he’s “protected”.

Probation is the low end. The maximum is 4 years in the State prison.
He will do time.

From the article:

Gee, who are the "experts" telling the media that?
The lying homosexual has powerful friends, and he will skate.
If he was a Trump supporting Republican, they would give him 20 years and throw him into solitary.
