Convicted hoaxer and former actor, Jussie Smollett has been sentenced to 150 days in jail, $120,000 in restitution, and a $25,000 fine.
As Smollett was taken away from the court he started yelling, “I am not suicidal! If anything happens to me when I go in there I did not do it to myself reported PJ Media.
“I did not do this,” he continued.
Smollett was led out of the court by police with his fist raised in the air.
During the sentencing hearing, Judge Linn said that for a person with his background in social justice to now be sitting in front of him convicted of faking a hate crime, “the hypocrisy is just astounding.”
Judge Linn also denied that this was a crime of impulse and told Smollett that he had premeditated his crime. “You did wake up in the morning thinking you were going to do something bad and wrong,” he said. “You paid them (his co-conspirators) in advance by check. You chose a date, you chose a time, you had props prepared…and then you did rehearsals!”
