30 months probation
Approx. 145K in fines/restitution
First 150 days of probation in confinement in Cook County Jail (just shy of 5 months)
I watched the lengthy sentencing hearing. It was mostly boring legal stuff, but holy crap the ending was wild. After the sentence was rendered, the judge asked Smollett if he had anything to say. He kept yelling, "I am NOT suicidal. I am NOT suicidal. If anything happens to me in jail, just know that I am NOT suicidal." He also repeated multiple times that he was innocent. The suggestion seemed to be that if any harm befalls him in custody, it's some sort of conspiracy to harm him. Ugh. Pretty ugly scene. After he was being escorted out of the court room and into sheriff's custody, he raised his right fist and again chanted, "I am NOT suicidal. I am innocent. I am NOT suicidal!"
Whoah boy. I am worried about the state of his mental health.
