The Prosecutors statement was that he intentionally led police and the public to believe his attackers were white.

he sure as hell implied it.

“If I had said it was a Muslim or a Mexican or someone black, I feel like the doubters would have supported me a lot more.”

Speaks volumes about how crazy Mr. Smollett is.
I think he's toast in Hollywood, however, they let Mel Gibson back into the fold and he even got a Best Director nod for Hacksaw Ridge. Not saying Jussie is anywhere near Gibson's star wattage but with Hollywood, they love a comeback. Personally, I hope he gets the book thrown at him. He needs some serious therapy.

Per the proffer, Smollett said he could see the area around his eye was white-skinned.

He did this in order to get a salary boost. He needs to:

1. Apologize to Chicago PD,
2. Apologize to Trump Supporters,
3. Get his arse thrown in jail,
4. Earn his living waiting tables for the rest of his life.

By faking this, he made it harder for the real victims of racial and homophobic violence to get justice.

Yep. But that doesn't matter and he won't lose his job. It only matters and you only lose your job for things like being a rookie and bringing a watermelon to the firehouse on your first official day as a firefighter.

Local news reported he appeared frustrated and kept rolling his eyes in court yesterday. Still the smug *b* even with two of the players and numerous video's telling the real story.

Big difference between a rant during a DUI stop and reporting a false crime which led to an investigation pulling, by some accounts, up to twenty detectives off their regular duties, staff time for both the CPD and State's Attorney's office to prepare subpoenas and warrants, and PIO giving regular updates.

frustrated that his big lie was exploding in public and too dishonest to even feel embarrassed...

Not to mention that Mel Gibson didn't work for years, got himself back in the game, and there are still people who won't work with him.

But I don't see H'wood being as punitive with this clown.
