Jussie Smollett will probably be sentenced to less than a year behind bars for staging a race-baiting attack in Chicago — if he gets any time at all, legal experts predicted Friday.
Cook County Judge James Linn Winn will likely consider that Smollett lied on the stand and was motivated by self-promotion when delivering a punishment, according to lawyers and a former Illinois judge.
“If it was me, I would give him a taste of jail time, and sentence him to 1,000 hours of community service in a year,” former Illinois Judge David Erickson told The Post.
