Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office approved the felony charge on Wednesday afternoon. The charge is a Class 4 felony that carries a possible prison sentence of 1-3 years, but he could also receive probation.
Smollett reported to police that on Jan. 29 two masked men shouted racial and homophobic slurs at him, beat him, threw a chemical substance at him and looped a rope tied like a noose around his neck.
The charges against Smollett were filed after two men who allegedly took part in the scheme testified before a grand jury.
This sick mishkav zocher will be hit with a fine and probation and let go. If the tables were turned and it was a white guy mocking an african american attacking him he would be charged as committing a hate crime and locked up for 3 years. But now that its just a crime against MAGA people to make Trump look bad then oh its not discrimination rather just a nuisance.
Hypocrite double standards
Lock him up. There’s enough negativity about Trump and his MAGA hat wearing hordes without this actor acting.
This guys a lowlife. And the bums in the media of course right away believe is cockamamie story. Hashomer pals scumbags.

This lying faygeleh has been arrested, and is now in custody. The City of Chicago should file a civil suit against him (in addition to this criminal proceeding), for all of the costs incurred, in investigating his false claim.
