Should Empire star Jussie Smollett serve time in prison if he’s convicted of a hate-crime hoax?

“Yes. I believe that if he is convicted, he should go to jail for a hate-crime hoax because it’s not right for people who actually go through it, and he’s just doing it for clout.”

“I think with this type of crime, it’s more about the mental state of the person than putting them in incarceration. I think a careful consideration should be given to whether this person would be better off going through a rehabilitation program versus spending years staring at a wall.”

“Yes, he should. I don’t think he should be on the street, and I hope everybody else agrees with me. I think he’s racist. They should really lock him up and throw away the key on him.”
