bcereuss He'll try anything! 'Immuno-compromised' Jussie Smollett complains about the risk of COVID in jail and says psych ward is harming his mental health as his lawyers ask for him to be freed (again) just five days into his 75 day sentenceFive days into his 75 day jail sentence, Jussie Smollett is now complaining that he is at risk of COVID in jail and is worried about his mental health so should be let out early.
Smollett, 39, is being held in the medical unit of the Cook County Jail.
His family say he is being held in the psych ward and that there's a note on the door of his cell saying he is at risk of self-harm - which they insist isn't true.
They say it speaks to Smollett's courtroom outburst where he insisted he wasn't suicidal and claimed if anything happened to him in jail, it was at someone else's hand.
Now, the family is asking for him to be released again. They submitted an emergency motion in the appellate court on Monday, claiming he should never have been convicted.
*more at link*
*another snippet from article:*
Since then, Smollett's family say they have received threats about him.
They received one over voicemail and released it to the media on Monday.
The caller used racist and homophobic slurs,
calling Smollett the N word and a 'f****t'. They said they hoped someone 'takes care' of him in jail. (eta: Hmmm…the attacker?!?!)
Smollett's sentence is an eighth of what it could have been.

jhe888I don't think being in jail or a psych ward would be good for me, either. But I also wouldn't think that should get me out of the pokey if I had been convicted.
The judge won't go for it. He know perfectly well every prisoner would make these ridiculous claims if they had the money to be able to afford it.

“That's some catch, that Catch-22,' he observed.
'It's the best there is,' Doc Daneeka agreed.
Yossarian saw it clearly in all its spinning reasonableness. There was an elliptical precision about its perfect pairs of parts that was graceful and shocking, like good modern art, and at times Yossarian wasn't quite sure that he saw it at all, just the way he was never quite sure about good modern art…”

parabellumFour days, actually. Smollett was not processed until past 7 PM on Thursday. That day does not count.
And it's 75 days
if he can behave himself. Does this latest news suggest to you that he is behaving himself?

This sounds familiar. I wonder if they're angling to get an adjoining cell.

Sig2340He'll be freed at 75 days.
Why? Because jailers are people too.
Out after the minimum time gets him out of the jail and gone, the staff don't have to deal with his racist narcissistic self.

Yes, normal people would have learned by this point that fabricated claims of this nature do them no good. Then again, these people have demonstrated quite clearly that they are not normal.
Now, what I would like is for the police to investigate their claim, and trace that call. Really, I would like this very much.

SIGnifiedThe caller was definitely wearing a MAGA hat. Oh, and white too.

Police / FBI / DoJ / U.S. Marshalls should go interrogate the two brothers who were the original racist MAGA fanatics.
cause, you know, criminals keep using the same MO. over and over. Ain't that right, Jussie ?
March 14, 2022, 04:19 PM
parabellumActually, I think they should interrogate Smollett's friends and family. I'm not buying this bullshit for one single second. They've already proven themselves to be a dishonest clan err family.

When they processed Juicy on Thursday, did they find a noose in his caboose?
