One thing I heard from the legal commenter - Factors will be brought forward as to why Jussie made this kind of decision when sentencing is determined. So, the show is not over.
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.

The AP really wants people to expect nothing to happen:
