I’d love to hear that little sissy’s response to this video. Certainly, the arrogant lying asshole will deny it.

Cop to it Juicy. Or better yet, double down. Go to Home Depot and get some more rope. Maybe get together with Jared for your new Subway order.

Where does this case stand? Smollett had his outburst at sentencing, served a short amount of time, then got released and I've heard nothing until this.

His case is sill being appealed, which he likely will lose, and his lawyers have requested a new trial, which I would be quite surprised if he got it. This means that most likely in the next few months he will have to go back to jail to serve the remaining 143 days of his sentence.

Frankly, I don't mind the delay much, because if he had served his 150 days all at once, he would be out now, but as it stands, this is before him every day. He damn well deserves to have this hanging over his head. He tried to blame white conservatives for his own racism. Every last bit of the troubles he has right now is his doing, and his alone.

On a quick search, looks like he has yet to serve his sentence as he is appealing his conviction with a whopping 150 day.

For Juicy it's about recognition, even going to jail or rehab is something that keeps your name in front of the people in that industry, we know they care little about personal reputations, look how long Harvey Weinstein lasted banging young actresses looking for work, it took several woman getting him in a court room and years to bring him down. He's hoping he'll be able to work with Baldwin in an up and coming production.

He served six or seven days.

Wasn't he responsible for the CPD costs as well?

Alright, enough is Goddamned enough. This lying race-baiter was granted one last extension on his appeal. That was in March of this year. It's time for the court to make a decision. Jail time, or not? Which is it? This lying piece of shit little asshole needs to finish his sentence. Let's get on with it.

Six months, and no news. Stop stalling and put this little bitch back in jail.

The legal saga continues for former Empire actor Jussie Smollett, who is trying to avoid jail time.

On Tuesday, an Illinois appeals court panel heard arguments from his attorneys, who say his convictions should be tossed out.

Smollett claimed he was the victim of a hate crime in Streeterville in 2019. He was charged with 16 felonies alleging he orchestrated a fake hate crime against himself. Those charges were dropped.

A new indictment and trial followed, and Smollett was convicted on five counts of disorderly conduct in 2021. Smollett filed an appeal in March 2022, challenging his conviction.

His attorneys have argued he is being punished for the same crime twice because he forfeited his $10,000 bond payment and agreed to perform 16 hours of community service when Cook County prosecutors dropped the original charges. A judge later ruled that the deal was invalid and appointed a special prosecutor who filed the new charges leading to Smollett's conviction.

Smollett's team has argued that the trial violated his Fifth Amendment protections against double jeopardy.

CBS 2 Legal Analyst Irv Miller said he thinks Smollett's attorneys have a case.

"There's a legitimate argument here," Miller said. "A legitimate legal argument here, based upon the fact that acts were taken against him that put him in jeopardy. He paid a fine. He continued with his community service, and he didn't violate the terms of the agreement, which is typically required when you try to get rid of the agreement and say 'Hey we're going to start from scratch because you didn't behave yourself.' He did behave himself. He did his community service. He paid the fine, and the system decided, 'Well that wasn't good enough. We want to try him again.'"

So what happens if the court decides Smollett's attorneys have a case and that his Fifth Amendment rights were violated?

"If the appellate court says his Fifth Amendment rights were violated, he's going to walk out period," Miller said. "He's going to walk out the front door with no conviction and they can't try him again."

Smollett has never made a statement accepting guilt in the case, something the state prosecutor pointed out in court on Tuesday.

The ruling is expected to take several weeks.

If his conviction is upheld, he must complete the 150-day jail sentence handed down in 2022. He spent only six days behind bars before he was released while he appealed his conviction.
