So what was the trial that found him GUILTY for ?

[Hootowl99]

Smollett was charged with 6 counts of felony perjury for lying to police and convicted of 5 (not guilty on 1). The maximum sentence for each guilty conviction count was 3 years in state prison. The judge sentenced him to 150 days in prison and 30 months felony probation.

IMO, the trial judge has already tied himself into a pretzel with the joke of a lenient sentence. The maximum sentence for the convictions was 5 x 3yr = 15yr if served consecutively. The judge effectively valued each conviction as 30-days in jail. This is misdemeanor conviction range. To me, something along the line of 3-5 years of incarceration would have been in line with the 5 convictions.

It will be real justice if the trial judge is PO’d and increases the jail time to several years. Smollett is opening Pandora's Box with this appeal and resentencing .

I'm not a lawyer but this is my take on things. Lemme know if I'm off base on something.
