Jussie Smollett planned and executed a hate-crime hoax designed to further divide the country and inflame racial tensions. Then he committed perjury on the stand.He was sentenced to just five months in prison.There is no real justice in this country.
And he was just released, pending outcome of his appeal............

FROM THE NEWSROOM: CHICAGO (AP) — Jussie Smollett has been released from jail in Chicago after an appeals court agreed with his lawyers that he should be free pending the appeal of his conviction for lying to police about a racist and homophobic attack. Smollett left the Cook County Jail Wednesday evening after posting a personal recognizance bond of $150,000, meaning he doesn’t have to put down money but agrees to come to court as required. The appeals court ruling came after a Cook County judge sentenced Smollett last week to immediately begin serving 150 days in jail for his conviction on five felony counts of disorderly conduct for lying to police.
