 Now, entertainment news, Chicago court has sentenced actor Joseph Spillett, one time star of the TV drama Empire, to 30 months probation and 150 days in jail for staging a hit crime against himself. During December, found Smollett, 39, guilty of five of the six felony disorderly conduct counts he faced. One for each time he was accused of lying to police. Cook County Second Court Judge James Lane also ordered Smollett to pay over $120,000 in resuscitation and find him $25,000 saying he didn't agree to damage to people that are genuine victims of hit crimes. I am innocent and I'm not suicidal. If I did this, then it means that I stuck my fist in the fears of black Americans in this country for over 400 years and the fears of the LGBTQ community, your honor, I respect you and I respect the jury, but I did not do this and I am not suicidal and if anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself and you must all know that. It is the worst thing that can happen, especially in our country with all our history and all that we're going through now to try to get around some of these issues. Hate crimes are the absolute worst and I believe that you did damage to real hate crimes, to hate crime victims. There are people that are actual, genuine victims of hate crimes that you did damage to. These are people that have a difficult time coming forward. They may be mistrustful. They may not want to bring it to the attention of the community or first responders. There may be some trepidation. I don't know for sure how much damage there was. I don't know how this is going to impact other people if they're going to be hesitant to come forward because they're going to think that they're going to be accused of acting like you and doing a stunt like you pulled here. Emotional moment. My brother was sentenced to 150 days in prison, which while on its own might not sound like a long sentence to all of you, but if you could listen to the recital of the prosecutor's entire, entire prosecution at the mouth of the duly elected judge, James Lin. All right? I don't understand and I spoke specifically today to the judge and I asked for leniency. I did not expect him to be completely lenient and listen, but at the same time he shamed my brother. He spoke about arrogance. He doesn't know the struggles my brother is encountering. He doesn't know anything that he's dealing with. So, hope you enjoyed the news.
