Jussie Smollett released from jail after serving just SIX DAYS of five month sentence for lying to cops

Jussie Smollett's release from jail on Wednesday night has spawned a wave of disbelief, outrage and mockery of the entire case against Empire actor, with many considering it the latest episode in a long-running farce that began when he falsely claimed he'd been beaten up. 

Smollett was convicted of five counts of felony disorderly conduct in December after a jury found he did lie to police in January 2019 and repeatedly since then by claiming he was attacked up by two white, homophobic Trump supporters in January 2019. 

In reality, the men were two black brothers who say Smollett paid them to carry it out in an attempt to raise his celerity profile. 

Last week, after an hours-long sentencing hearing where his attorneys begged for the judge not to jail him, Smollett was sent to the Cook County Jail for 150 days.
