Do you feel sorry for Jussie Smollett?

[Fuzzy Bear]

Jessie Smolett is a twisted scumbag whose crime cost taxpayers lots of money,  but where he turned out to be the victim of his own crime.

If I were the Judge,  I would have suspended his jail sentence so long as he admitted what he did and that it was inexcusable, and that he reimburse Chicago for the investigation costs.  He could do some kind of Probation; he's doing that anyway.   That way we could see what Smolett is really made of.  His conduct in Court was that of a Cell Warrior; the guy who talks tough when he's locked away from his adversary.   I would have liked to have seen what Smolett would have done if "Jail or No Jail" depended on a sincere admission and apology.
