Jussie Smollett's conviction upheld by Illinois appeals court

Liar Jussie Smollett has lost his appeal for convictions after he was caught faking a politically motivated attack (claiming it was a hate crime) a few years back. He was convicted and now his appeal is lost too. Back to jail for this fake stooge. His next step is Illinois Supreme Court. 😀


Jussie Smollett's conviction upheld by Illinois appeals court

An Illinois appeals court upheld actor Jussie Smollett's conviction for a staged hate crime in an opinion filed Friday.

The decision was 2-1, with Justice David Navarro and Justice Mary Ellen Coghlan agreeing. Judge Freddrenna Lyle dissented, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

Smollett's legal team will file an appeal with the Supreme Court.

"We wish to highlight that the decision was divided, with Justice Lyle offering a detailed analysis in favor of Smollett," his rep Holly Baird told Fox News Digital."We are preparing to escalate this matter to the Supreme Court, armed with a substantial body of evidence."

He deserves all he gets. His sentence was minimal but hopefully his career is finished.

Good riddance!
Don’t drop the soap!
That’s the 2nd fraud to get their just desserts today.
Don’t you just love the sweet sound of Justice flushing turds?

I've got a question.....Who is paying his lawyers ? Jussie hasn't had a job since 2019 and he may be getting royalties from that show, but not enough to keep high dollar attorneys on payroll.

He was originally sentenced to 150 days, but to keep his name in the media, he keeps fighting it. He could have done his time by now and got on with his life, but his need for attention over rides his common sense. His acting career is over. He may get a few bit parts here and there, but he's done.

I disagree. He deserves much more than what he is getting.

I'm disappointed, though, that the world smolletize has not made it into the common vernacular.

smolletize: the act of producing false attacks to meet a leftwing narrative because things actually are not as bad as progressive idiots want to believe them to be.

Do we know if he stays out of prison during the next appeal? There's probably a liberal slush fund that is paying the fees and giving him an allowance during his time of need.

He's friends with the Obamas.

He doesn't need to worry about things like paying lawyers.

He would have got much longer if he was a Patriot and white. Sorry but it's true.

Here’s Why Kamala Didn’t Hesitate to Trust Jussie Smollett

As the trial of Jussie Smollett, the former Empire actor accused of faking his own hate crime, began on Monday, a 2019 tweet from Kamala Harris calling it “an attempted modern-day lynching” and declaring that “no one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin” has resurfaced on social media.

In case you’ve forgotten, Smollett, who is Black and gay, claimed two masked men “doused him with bleach, put a rope around his neck and said, ‘This is MAGA country!’” In Chicago, of all places.

For many progressives, the story was “too good to check”—so they didn’t.

Sharknado 12 has his name all over it.

Just a random victim.

This guy is a mess and should be embarrassed by what he tried to pull.
But instead, he is still proud and bold. No change in him. No remorse.
People like him ... they make the world a worse place.
