I’m honestly stunned that he’ll spend even one day in custody, so we’re in agreement there.
I’ll add, though: I’ve been practicing in Georgia for more than 20 years. “Real time” has usually implied something more than 150 days in county jail.
Although I knew a middle-class guy who was locked up in New Orleans for 2-3 months right after Katrina, and he was deeply traumatized by that. So there’s exceptions.
Innocent, my @ss. To hell with this criminal. Let this LIAR tolerate his 150 day visit to the Cook County lockup. Choke on your incoming smorgasbord, Jussie!!

150 days in Cook County in jail is like 3 years at Alcatraz.

I seriously doubt the impact to the Chicago Police Department, which has plenty of real crime to deal with, was limited to $25,000 when they spent weeks investigating his lies.
Dude, you just threw one of your own under the bus. How cool is that?

yikes
he will be very popular
Meh-- I am willing to bet he won't be in general population. He is going to be in a protected environment, the prisons won't want to risk lawsuits and protests if a hair on his head gets touched.

Until people can really accept and understand that “hate crime” is no worse than any other type of “crime”, we will have to deal with these narcissistic publicity stunts on a regular basis. Most of them are not committed by “celebrities” (however you want to define that word), but this is far from the first “hate crime” hoax.

Check me on this, but I think the $25k is in addition to the restitution. Not sure, but I think that’s right.
To me, the really stunning fact about all this is that more than 2 years later, when most people are either laughing at him or looking the other way, he’s still clinging to his bull**** story and claiming all this nonsense really happened.

Agree. Frankly, I am surprised his handlers have not put forward an argument that he is suffering from some sort of PTSD or other mental health trauma that will result him being serving his sentence in a private mental health institution for celebrities (hello Dr. Drew). Moreover, it will give the media and the Left the buy out that while the actual event did not occur, his mental health decline was the result of a lifetime of aggressions from real bigots (their spin not mine).

The 25K was his fine, the restitution was 125ishk
Thanks, you all are right. Restitution of $120,000+ and then the 25k fine sounds much better!
