BREAKING Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 30 months probation for lying to police about staging a hate crime attack against himself in Chicago, but will spend the first 150 days of the sentence in Cook County Jail.
After the sentencing was announced and Smollett learned he would be spending time in jail, he repeatedly yelled in court"I am not suicidal!"
In considering the sentence, Linn said Smollett's"extreme" premeditation of the crime was an aggravating factor.Smollett walked into the Leighton Criminal Courts building flanked by his family and attorney for his sentencing hearing at 1 p.m., where his defense team first sought to have the jury's verdict overturned on legal grounds.
Jussie Smollett's grandmother, testifying for the defense, asked Linn not to include prison time in his sentence for Smollett.
