American actor/singer Jussie Smollett may be returning to jail after an Illinois Appeals court upheld his conviction for staging a racist, homophobic attack against himself in 2019 and lying about it to Chicago police.
If you recall, the actor was found guilty in December 2021, and in March 2022, he was sentenced to one hundred and fifty days in the Cook County jail. Additionally, he was ordered to serve thirty days of probation and satisfy orders for restitution.
Six days later, Jussie Smollett was released from police custody on an emergency motion. The motion granted the actor bail as his team worked to appeal his conviction.
In the latest development, the actor recently received a decision regarding his appeal from an Illinois court
