Go With The Flo
By Flo Anthony
After being sentenced to 150
days in jail and ordered to pay
$120, 106 in restitution, an additional
$25,000 as well as serve probation,
Jussie Smollett was placed
in the Psych Ward of Chicago’s
Cook County Jail. However, representatives
for the jail say that
is where they place all high profile
inmates, and the decision was
not based on the former Empire
star yelling, “I am innocent. I am
not suicidal” as he was led out of
the courtroom in handcuffs on
March 10. According to multiple
reports, Smollett’s cell has round
the clock cameras as well as a corrections
officer stationed outside
of the cell with a body worn camera.
Meanwhile, Taraji P. Henson,
who portrayed Smollett’s character,
Jamal’s mother Cookie on
Empire, posted on Social Media,
“My prayer is that he is freed and
put on house arrest and probation
because in this case that would
seem fair. Please #FreeJussie.” An
Illinois Appellate Court on March
16 has since cut short the former
Smollet’s 150-day sentence pending
appeal.
