He was billed $300K to pay back the city for tying up the police department which his brilliant attorney argued against saying that Smollett didn't know they would spend so much time on an investigation.
Meanwhile, he's still saying he didn't make anything up. He needs help - he's one sick puppy.
The court ruled he does owe it, so now we wait to see if he pays it. No jail time.
And we're waiting to see what Dan Webb finds out in investigating any wrongdoing by Kim Foxx and those in her office.
Smollett is saying those two brothers (Able and Ola) had it out for him and attacked him. He is throwing them under the bus in a lame attempt to save his public image. Talk about a double cross. Plus, the fact that the brothers are black makes it even worse. I mean, doesn't Smollett consider himself to be a black rights activist? I can't believe some folks are still supporting this nasty phony clown.
Even if that were true it wouldn't get very far. He can't just go from saying a group of white Trump country KKK gay hating hooligans who happened to be in Chicago at 2 am on the coldest night of the year tried to bleach and hang him with sewing thread to now it was two Nigerian guys he knew trying to beat him up. That would be admitting the hoax

I believe Smollett is claiming that the ski-mask wearing brothers made him think that they were white MAGA attackers. They used this ruse in order to "get away" with their attack on him, and he had nothing to do with it aside from being a victim, implying that the brothers somehow had it out for him. Whew.
