Jussie Smollett released from county jail during appeal

Jussie Smollett released from county jail during appeal

CTV
Thursday, March 17, 2022 2:40 AM GMT

Jussie Smollett was released from jail Wednesday following six nights behind bars after an appeals court agreed with his lawyers that he should be free pending the appeal of his conviction for lying to police about a racist and homophobic attack.

The former "Empire" actor walked out of the Cook County Jail surrounded by security. He did not comment as he got into an awaiting SUV, but his attorneys said he was the target of a racist justice system and people playing politics.

The appeals court ruling came after a Cook County judge sentenced Smollett last week to immediately begin serving 150 days in jail for his conviction on five felony counts of disorderly conduct for lying to police. In an outburst immediately after the sentence was handed down, Smollett proclaimed his innocence and said "I am not suicidal. And if anything happens to me when I go in there, I did not do it to myself. And you must all know that."

The appeals court said Smollett could be released after posting a personal recognizance bond of US$150,000, meaning he didn't have to put down money but agrees to come to court as required.

Smollett defence attorney Nenye Uche, speaking to reporters outside the jail after Smollett left, said the Smollett family is "very very happy with today's developments." Uche said during his time at the jail, Smollett had not eaten and drank only water, though he did not say why.
