  • Introduction to Video Content
  • Jussie Smollett, the actor known for his role in the TV show 'Empire', has lost his appeal and is going back to prison. In a shocking turn of events, the appeals court has affirmed his conviction for his involvement in a highly publicized hate crime hoax. This news comes as a surprise to many, as Smollett had seemed poised to escape punishment due to his celebrity status and financial resources. However, it appears that justice has finally been served. In this article, we will delve into the details of the case and explore the implications of this decision. But before we dive in, let's take a moment to discuss an exciting cyber sale happening today at Coffee Brand Coffee. With discounts of up to fifty percent, now is the perfect time to stock up on your favorite coffee blends and holiday gift boxes. Visit our homepage to browse our wide selection of flavors and gifts. Now, back to the story. Smollett's conviction stems from an incident in which he claimed to be the victim of a racially motivated attack. However, it was later revealed that he had orchestrated the entire incident in an attempt to gain sympathy and boost his career. The elaborate hoax not only wasted valuable law enforcement resources but also polarized public opinion and undermined the credibility of genuine hate crimes. Despite mounting evidence against him, Smollett persisted in maintaining his innocence, leading to a highly publicized trial. When he was initially sentenced to prison, many believed that he would never serve time behind bars. However, the recent court decision has shattered those hopes. Smollett will now have to face the consequences of his actions and serve his time like any other convicted criminal. The court's decision is a victory for the legal system, as it shows that no one is above the law, regardless of their fame or wealth. It also serves as a stark reminder that fabricating hate crimes is a serious offense with significant repercussions. The Smollett case has prompted important discussions about the prevalence of fake hate crimes and the need for greater scrutiny when such incidents occur. This case should serve as a wake-up call to society about the dangers of perpetuating false narratives and the importance of seeking the truth. Moving forward, it is crucial that we learn from this ordeal and work towards a more inclusive and understanding society, where genuine victims are supported and justice is served. In conclusion, Jussie Smollett's loss in his appeal and subsequent return to prison send a powerful message about the consequences of deceit. While it is unfortunate that such an incident occurred, it is heartening to see that the legal system has remained steadfast in upholding justice. Let this be a lesson to all that honesty, integrity, and accountability are paramount in our society, and that no one is immune to the consequences of their actions.

  • Just in, hoaxer Juicy Sommelier has lost his appeal and is going back to jail after an appeals court affirmed his historically conduct conviction.
  • Good keep him there.
  • Back in December of the year, Sommelier was found guilty of five felony counts
  • He faked a hate crime to make Trump supporters look bad.
  • Here is Simolette whining back in March of the year after he was sentenced.
  • Now let me be very clear of just how evil the Simolier was.
  • He took one of the most racially divisive times in the recent history.
  • and thought to himself, now this is a great opportunity for me to advance my career.
  • That's what he wanted.
  • He set up a scenario with two other black men who were his physical trainers or something, or they were on the show Empire with him, wrote a script, referred to downtown Chicago as mega country, his alleged interactors,
  • took a robe, formed a noose, put it around himself, wore it until the police arrived, never bothered taking it off, concocted one of the most insane stories that even the black community was immediately making fun of him.
  • Dave Chappelle put a whole bit in his stand up about Juicy Sommelier, the French actor.
  • Nobody and I'm not saying like, I'm just saying nobody backed him.
  • Right?
  • Are there people are the racist people out there?
  • Yes.
  • And by the way, of all kinds, I do reject the react, you know, this bs that people say only only white people can be raised bs.
  • I've met racist black people.
  • I've met racist Asian people.
  • Okay, they exist.
  • All right.
  • Um, but here's him having a melty.
  • Oh, yeah.
  • Why does he say that?
  • Why is he screaming that?
  • He's like, I'm not gonna end myself.
  • I'm not gonna end myself.
  • I mean, by the way, at no point.
  • You know, that's something that only Juicy Sommelier gets to do.
  • Otherwise, most people would be held in contempt and get extra charges added.
  • Here's the New York Times article.
  • Court rejects Juicy Sommelier's appeal of hoax case conviction.
  • An appellate court in Illinois upheld the actor's conviction on charges of filing false police reports claiming that he was a subject of not only race related attacks, but attacks based on his orientation.
  • The appellate court in Illinois on Friday rejected Juicy Smollett's challenge of his conviction on charges of filing false police report.
  • Mr. Smollett was sentenced to five months in jail last year, but only served six days of the term before he was released on appeal.
  • Now, he spent most of those days, from what I remember, in solitary confinement or medical watch for self harm or something like that.
  • Lawyers for the actor, who had starred in the music industry drama Empire, when he first reported that he had been the victim of this crime, argued that Mr. Smollett had been unjustly punished for the same crime twice when a special prosecutor revived the case against him.
  • Well, you know why?
  • It's because, at least in my opinion,
  • The woman that the prosecutor or whatever, the district attorney was a Kim Fox, I think.
  • I'm pretty sure there's some like Michelle Obama called her and then suddenly the charges were dropped.
  • Massive corruption in Chicago.
  • Really, in every city.
  • So they got these, you know, somebody called in a favor, got these charges dismissed, only to then have a somebody who is not corrupt
  • take a look at it and actually convict him.
  • The appellate court was not persuaded.
  • Justice David R. Navarro wrote in the opinion, quote, the state was not barred from re prosecuting Smollett.
  • No jury had been impaneled, no witnesses had been sworn in, no evidence had been introduced, and Smollett had pled not guilty, Justice Navarro wrote.
  • Because of these actions occurred in jeopardy, did not attach to Smollett's first criminal prosecution.
  • A lawyer for Mr. Smollett, Nenye Uche, who did not immediately respond to requests for comments on whether or not he planned to appeal the case further, a special prosecutor in charge for the case, Dan K. Webb, said on Friday that the appeal was a resounding victory for the prosecution
  • He said that based on Illinois law, Mr. Smollett would not be required to report jail immediately.
  • His lawyers will have a chance to appeal further to the Illinois Supreme Court.
  • But if any court does not take up the case, Mr. Smollett will not have any more avenues.
  • Since he reported the incident, Mr. Simlet claimed two men had mildly injured him while yelling all sorts of slurs at him, even though he had orchestrated everything in an effort to make more money.
  • I mean that's quite frankly why he did it you know he wanted to get more clout in hollywood he wanted to earn more money he wanted more people to.
  • Know his name he wanted to negotiate there is even this like.
  • uh mysterious letter with mysterious powder in it that like suddenly uh uh appeared on the set and it was like crudely drawn i i don't even remember what you know it was like some racist thing that he probably also sent
  • The case was a political tinderbox in Chicago, where the state's attorney general initially prosecuted Mr. Smollett, then dropped the charges against him in that same month.
  • Kim Foxx, the Cook County state's attorney, had separated herself from the investigation and appointed a deputy, Joseph Magatz, to oversee the case.
  • The appointment was criticized by a judge who ordered the appointment of a special prosecutor to take over the case.
  • The special prosecutor, Mr. Webb, opened a new case against Smollett a year later.
  • At trial, the prosecution's star witnesses were the two brothers who testified that Mr. Smollett had asked them to carry out the incident, instructed them in great detail how to carry it out, and he also paid them, I believe, five thousand dollars each.
  • Mr. Uche argued in his appeal of the case that the prosecution never should have been reopened because at the time the state prosecutors dropped the initial charges.
  • Mr. Smollett, that's how Bill Cosby got off, basically.
  • It's all this corruption.
  • It's just so incredibly annoying.
  • Mr. Smollett forfeited a ten thousand dollar bond and perform community service effectively a punishment for the crime that he could not receive another punishment.
  • That's what they were arguing.
  • Tough.
  • Basically, what happened was they had a situation where they knew that they had a corrupt prosecutor.
  • They knew that Juicy Sommelier had had special favors done so that he could get away with all this crap.
  • The court also rejected complaints against the severity of Mr. Sommelier's sentence, which in addition to jail time, includes a twenty five thousand dollar fine and more than a hundred and twenty thousand dollars that Chicago Police Department said it spent on overtime costs.
  • So now he's going to get jail time and have to pay a hundred and fifty K in fines.
  • One justice on the panel dissented, finding that prosecutor's dismissal of the initial case was formal enough to hear or to bar further prosecution, but it wasn't enough.
  • Obviously, also Mr. Simlet, who was fired from Empire after police accused him of staging it, has been in limbo for more than a year.
  • By the way, he could have been out by now.
  • He could have been out by now.
  • Nope, now he's going back in.
  • What a great victory on a Friday.
