Fox News
Jussie Smollett began his 150-day jail sentence in protective custody, according to jail authorities. Smollett was convicted of lying to police about being a victim of a racist and homophobic attack in 2019.
Smollett loudly maintained his innocence and suggested he could be killed in jail.
"Your honor, I respect you and I respect the jury, but I did not do this," Smollett said Thursday. "And I am not suicidal. And if anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself."
