Jussie Smollett’s attorneys say they’re planning to appeal nearly everything that went on in court over the last few months — from the actor’s December conviction of lying to police to the 150-day sentence a judge imposed last week.

It also means the attorneys will receive nothing but a short and pointed notice that the motion has been rejected. There likely won’t be any reason given or a statement of any kind.

Appeals court to rule if Jussie Smollett should stay in jailJussie Smollett's attorneys say they're planning to appeal nearly everything that went on in court over the last few months — from the actor's December conviction of lying to police to the 150-day sentence a judge imposed last week. Now, the issue of whether Smollett must sit in jail during these planned appeals is before a state appeals court and while the appeals could take months to resolve, the question of whether Smollett remains locked up will be resolved much quicker. The way Smollett's attorneys see it, such an order is justified because it's almost certain that Smollett would complete his 150-day jail sentence — which could shrink to 75 days if he behaves himself in jail — before the appeals on the conviction and sentence are decided. What an ass, from where I stand, Jesse did this to his self!
