Wait! There’s more …
While Smollett declined to speak before his sentence was handed down, in a strange outburst, he immediately began to proclaim his innocence as he was led away in handcuffs following Judge Linn’s decision.
“I’m innocent! I could’ve said I was guilty a long time ago!” Smollett stated in court.
“I am not suicidal. I am innocent and I’m not suicidal. If I did this, then it means that I shoved my fist in the fears of Black Americans in this country for over 400 years and the fears of the LGBTQ community,” Smollett shouted.
