Um, aren't all inmates at risk in prison?
Must be nice to be black and moderately famous.
But you can poke fun of it on Father's Day.

And by the commercials on TV and ads in printed material, nobody procreates with their own race any more.

I took a Biden and dedicated it to the Judge that released him.
Apparently, he still believes it all, even long after it has come to light that he paid two Nigerian brothers to fake the hate crime against him. Smollett’s lawyers, according to Slay, “filed court documents seeking a retrial in his conviction for orchestrating the fake hate crime attack that blamed supporters of President Donald Trump.” They’re claiming that the judge at Smollett’s trial, James Linn, was biased against not only Smollett himself but against his legal team as well. They’re claiming that Linn, who is white, “sandbagged their work during cross-examination, and let prosecutors strike a disproportionate amount of potential black jurors and a gay juror.” The hoaxer’s lawyers weren’t satisfied with implying that Linn is a racist, and are also claiming that Linn adopted “a personal retributive tone, based on speculative information.”
Nor is even that all. Smollett’s lawyers are claiming that the whole investigation of his fake hate crime claims was stacked against him from the start. They assert that Judge Michael Toomin, who appointed U.S. Attorney Dan K. Webb as a special prosecutor to look into Smollett’s hoax after all initial charges against the hatemonger had been dropped, was also prejudiced against poor Jussie.
“From the very start of the circuit court’s order granting the appointment of a special prosecutor,” the lawyers’ new court filing claims, “Judge Toomin explicitly, unequivocally, and improperly set forth an opinion that Mr. Smollett was, in fact, guilty of charges which a) Mr. Smollett specifically pled not guilty to, and b) which, at the time of the appointment, had been duly dismissed.” Well, yeah, it was because that dismissal was so suspicious that the new inquiries had to be made in the first place.
Just as brazenly as Smollett himself when he claimed that he had been the victim of this race-hate attack in the first place, Smollett’s lawyers claim that the actor’s “Constitutional rights to due process and to a fair trial were denied by prosecutorial misconduct including allegations that a defense witness was pressured to change his statement” and more.

What's this world coming to when you can't fake a hate crime and get off scot free?
It’s not the Uhmerika Jussie wants to live in.
