Jussie Smollett Found Guilty in Hate Crime Hoax Saga. Guilty on 5 of 6. counts isn’t bad. Now watch the judge give him a net-zero sentence.
Count 1 accuses him of telling responding Chicago Police Officer Muhammed Baig at around 2:45 a.m., some 45 minutes after the purported attack, that he was the victim of a hate crime. He said two attackers put a rope around his neck. Count 2 refers to Smollett telling the same officer he was a victim of a battery, describing attackers beating and pouring bleach on him.
Counts 3 and 4 are when Smollett made the same claims but to a different officer, Kimberly Murray, later that morning, at just before 6 a.m.
Count 5 accuses Smollett of again telling Murray at around 7:15 p.m. that he was the victim of a battery. Count 6 refers to Smollett reporting on Feb. 14, 2019, to detective Robert Graves that he’d been a victim of an aggravated battery.

We all knew he was guilty, I'm just surprised he was found guilty in court!
Let's see how easy the judge goes on him.
I want to know if he lied on the first 5, why didn’t they think he lied on the 6th??? Makes no sense.
Makes no sense to me either but at least we didn't have to watch another jury nullification like we did with OJ.
