CHICAGO -- "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett appeared in court Thursday after surrendering to authorities in the early morning on one felony count of disorderly conduct for filing a false police report.
The judge set Smollett's bond at $100,000. He is expected to bond out of jail. He is due back in court March 14, when he is expected to enter his plea.

Guilty
I thought he was going to walk on his own recognizance. Seems steep - which is good.
That’s it???
Peanuts, to his celebrity/celebrity-loving peeps.
He makes that much per episode. He should be able to cover 10% of that.
That Chicago police domo seemed genuinely p*ssed that Empire-boy pulled this racial stunt.
For him, that’s 1-1/2 episodes of his crap show.
Surrendered his passport. Also he gay his boys 100 bucks for supplies. What a dumb ass.
“He makes that much per episode. He should be able to cover 10% of that.”
So now, without legal expenses he’s out $14,000+ (bond plus the the check(s) to his accomplices) plus $25.00 or so for props...crime adds up!
Orange Man BAD derangement syndrome...
I doubt he will be “free”. It will destroy his career and he will be forever branded. He might not even get a job as a night time janitor.
From the article: “Johnson said Chicago police did not pull any resources away from homicides or shootings and the case did not get any special attention.”
Sounds like BS to me as the case obviously got special attention, the press conference is proof of that. Now they may not have allocated any homicide assets as there was no homicide, but I will bet extra police assets were diverted to the case.
I hope you're right, but I'm not betting on it.
That’s not very much.
I read today that they’re considering suspending him from the show. He hasn’t been fired yet? In this era of trial by media, a conservative (or other persons not considered to be part of a protected class ) would have been fired by their employer immediately, followed by death threats, etc., long before the court was involved. They’d have to go into hiding, ironically, in fear of being lynched by a liberal mob.
Bet there’s a morals clause in his contract that would allow them to do it without waiting for a conviction/admission.
Anyone wanna bet this turd becomes the next Kaepernick?
