Judge Linn: “Your performance on the witness stand can only be described as pure perjury,” he said. “You’ve been lying and lying and lying about this case, and that’s why you’re here today.”
I'm struck by his unplanned courtroom outburst after his sentencing. It appears genuinely unscripted, which implies he truly thought he was going to walk out of there. His denial of reality is utterly complete. He's only an actor, and obviously not a script writer.

I'm not sure I understand the "I'm not suicidal!" outburst. What was that about? Just shouting for attention? Setting the stage, so to speak, for some other maneuver?
God bless America.

What was it about? He's a drama queen and, like the judge said, a narcissist. For those of you who think that outburst was spontaneous, think again. This asshole has had months to think about how he would react if he was found guilty and sentenced. You can see what a clear thinker he is simply by considering how he arrived at where he is now. He's stupid enough and deluded enough to think his little stunt in 2019 would work. Everything he does is planned. He doesn't live in the real world.
Could take a lesson from Arizona. A sheriff there fed his prisoners bologna sandwiches on stale bread and green bologna; put them in highway duty chain gangs. ^^^^^^^^^^^ Cook County is MUCH worse. Everybody there will know who he is before he enters. Prison time would have been easier by far. I was impressed by the fairness and eloquence of Judge Linn.

I've always been a supporter of people who falsified claims should serve the same sentence as the alleged offender if the crime was actually committed. So in this case if white men had actually done what he claimed them to do and they would have been sentenced to X years in jail then JS should have to serve the same.
5 months is not enough. JS should serve years with an S.
What the hell is Smollett talking about I'm not suicidal..? Was that an issue? Is Juicy acting all the way up to the very end? Did this guy not comprehend the verbal beating from the judge?
