The worst part is that some innocent person(s) could have been arrested for attacking Smollet when it never really happened.

Jussie Smollett was ordered released from jail Wednesday by an appeals court that agreed with his lawyers that he should released pending the appeal of his conviction for lying to police about a racist and homophobic attack.

Just shows how things are done differently for the rich and famous. Sad how the justice system works. Talk about privileged.

This is just plain sad, it started so much hate and all because of a lie.

So when they tell you no one is above the law just remember that doesn't include anyone with a lot of money.

Any odds yet for how soon he appears on the Lib/Woke talk shows where his welcome back to the fold campaign begins?
