He has probably hurt LGBTQ+ rights massively, because now the Right has material to use for whenever a hate crime happens. But the way he has been charged seems motivated by something other than justice. In a better world, we wouldn't have to suspect there's an ulterior motive, but unfortunately, we don't live in a better world.

that is unless the people still supporting him throw money at the fake hate crime actor to bail him out or get the judge to somehow move the trial outside of Chicago

As I said, people that affect situations that are happening in the world do not deserve sympathy. Smollett's stupidity and ignorance had a consequence, which comes in the form of 16 felony counts.

Which, as as been pointed out, is excessive for what actually happened.

As has been pointed out by everybody but yourself, the charges are entirely in line with normal police procedure in this kind of case, as well as the peculiarities of how misinformation charges are generally handled in the US.

Police don't charge criminals, prosecutors do.
