Actor Jussie Smollett has filed an appeal of his conviction for faking a hate crime.

Thursday that the former “Empire” actor asked the Illinois Appellate Court to order a new trial in case on the grounds of “prosecutorial misconduct” that he calls “clear and egregious.”

Smollett was sentenced last March to 150 days in jail in December 2021 of five counts of disorderly conduct for faking a racist, anti-gay hate crime. Smollett recruited brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo to “attack” him, the two Nigerian men said.Wednesday’s brief, according to the Post report, made other charges about the trial, saying the judge’s “closing remarks demonstrated that Mr. Smollett’s sentencing took on a personal retributive tone.

Oops. Add another 90 on top of the 150

Lock him back up for 90 days

The least believable part of this story was that he casually eats at subway.

If anyone deserves prison time, it’s Smollett. There must be consequences for intentionally creating hatred and division while wasting the time, and money, of law enforcement. Biased against the black performer? Seriously? Give the victimhood spiel a rest.

Good for Jussie Smollett .... he's off the streets & honing his bad acting skills to become a bigger loser.

If you get caught faking a hate crime, you should be punished for committing a hate crime.

Lol 😂
