If jurors convict Smollett, his lack of criminal history and the fact that no one was seriously hurt make actual time behind bars unlikely. It’s more likely that a judge would sentence him to probation and perhaps order him to perform community service.
I don't expect him to do much time, if any either.
“No one was seriously hurt” ?? Maybe not directly, but when you consider all the racial and political divide that has caused pain on the individual and societal levels? And knowing that he helped contribute to that in a pre-meditated fashion? He deserves a fucking prison sentence.
If I must ever spill the blood of an attacker coming at me for being White or seeking individual liberty for all, I'll remember that "no one was hurt" by crimes such as this.
The people imprisoned for attending January 6th are still behind bars. There was no one seriously hurt (by them) and most of them lack a criminal history... so why are they incarcerated and no time for Jussie?
The AP really wants people to expect nothing to happen:

The one glimmer of hope in sentencing is that the cops were PISSED when this first happened. I remember listening to the press conferences they did.
His career is over though.
His career has been over.
His "career" was a cabal gift.
Not after, give it time to blow over and he’ll be publicly venerated being turned into a hero
He will be another Kapernick.

I want to sue him... he tried to blame America supporters and get us killed!
Class action
