And when that letter did not get a “bigger reaction,” Smollett orchestrated the attack a week later with the two men–Ola and Abel Osundairo, sources said. Also Tuesday, sources said the two brothers were seen on a ride share video camera before being dropped off near the location of the attack.
Smollett received a letter containing a white powder Jan. 22. The letter was mailed to Chicago’s Cinespace Studios, where the show “Empire” is filmed. The letter prompted a HAZMAT response. CPD says the “white substance” was later determined to be aspirin.

I don't know, the Chicago PD was really pissed about wasting a massive amount of time and money on this hoax when they're already dealing with other serious issues. They might make an example out of him just because of that.

I hope they sentence him to the maximum for the charges he's found guilty of, this shit where celebrities and the wealthy can escape punishment or plea down needs to stop ASAP. If these people didn't have their wealth or connections they'd be sent to the slammer for life just like some poor bastard who was found with a few ounces of weed for the third time.

Because right now you're arguing for unequal justice purely because you want to be vindictive.
