what a plonker!

It was much more insidious than him being a "plonker" TTT. At the time it almost caused more of the violent riots that had taken place in America and was a very deliberate attempt to create an atmosphere where the sitting President was held responsible for encouraging the attack and others like it. Dangerous individual now trying to play the victim, instead of accepting that he is in fact guilty as charged. Should have had 3 years.

The jails are full of innocent people.

//“You’re just a charlatan, pretending to be a victim of a hate crime,” Judge James Linn said to Smollett. “Your very name has become an adverb for ‘lying.'”
“Your performance on the witness stand can only be described as pure perjury,” the judge added. “You are now a permanently convicted felon.”
“There is nothing that I can do here today that will come close to the damage you’ve already done to your own life,” Judge Linn said before delivering the sentencing. “You turned your life upside down by your misconduct and shenanigans. Judge Linn added that Smollett’s “hypocrisy is astounding,” given that the actor has taken a keen interest in social justice issues for many years, yet staged a hate crime against himself, because he “really craved attention.”

“I believe that you did damage to real hate crime victims,” the judge said to Smollett.

“The officer asked you a simple question. And then you start to lie and haven’t stopped lying since,” the judge said. “You’ve been lying and lying and lying about this case, and that’s why you’re here today.”
Judge added that “This can only be described as pure perjury,” when Smollett got on the witness stand and “committed hour upon hour upon hour of pure perjury.”//
There are a damned sight more downright guilty out of prison that "innocent" in.

You think Smollett is innocent? Can you tell us why?

[youngmafbog]

It's a terrible thing he has done. Real racist attacks happen all the time especially in some States and all he has done is undermine others who have suffere, its bound to lead to a load of people not being believed.

[burlyshirley]

150 days, that's a joke !

[ladybirder]

Doug is saying what they all say, he's not being serious!

[youngmafbog]

Actually I think its a good call, imagine the outcry if he was given a lengthy sentence from certain quarters. The Judge has not played into their hands.

For someone like him it wont be a comfortable time at all. Hopefully he will learn from this and then move on.

[ladybirder]

Sorry I mean Zacs.

[youngmafbog]

Oh I see, sorry that was a whoosh moment for me!

[Zacs-Master]

Indeed it was.

[ToraToraTora]

he was just desperately seeking attention and wanted to be a victim of his favourite "ism". So much so he staged it himself thus setting back the cause of the victims of the aforementioned ism considerably. TBF I think the judge had a point he's already done untold damage to himself and showbiz career so I think the sentence is about right.
