Jussie Smollett reacts to jail sentence for staging hate crime: 'I am not suicidal
FOX 32 Chicago ^ | March 10, 2022 7:13PM

Judge James Linn also sentenced him to 30 months of probation, and said the actor will have to pay restitution of $120,106 to the city of Chicago, along with paying a $25,000 fine.

After delivering his decision, the judge asked Smollett if he had any questions.

"I would just like to say to you, Your Honor, that I am not suicidal. That's what I would like to say," said Smollett. "I am not suicidal."

Smollett's voice began to rise, saying once again, "I am not suicidal."

"I am innocent, and I am not suicidal," the actor said.

"If anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself," said Smollett. "And you must all know that."

High level democrats put him up to this, including kamala. I wouldn’t put it passed them to “suicide” him to cover up their involvement.

He got 30 months probation. Why would he be “in there”?

What, does he think Trump will have him “suicided?” The guy is so annoying. Glad he got some time.

He’s probably concerned that it will get out that he has solid evidence that will put Hillary in prison for life, like tapes from Pedo Island, or bank records from the Clinton Foundation, or the email from her private server. Yessiree, if that word got out his life wouldn’t be worth a plug nickel in the slam. I sure hope nobody posts that to the Internet or anything.

They will take his belt and he will walk around with his pants down. He will have to buy a lot of pizza for his fellow prisoners to keep on good terms.

Ayup.

He’ll find true love and be married before he gets out, with a book and a movie deal to keep the epstein effect at bay.
