YESTERDAY’S POLL: The 4PM Readers Show No Mercy to Jussie
Readers of The 4PM overwhelmingly said actor Jussie Smollett should be sent to jail for his 2019 hate crime hoax.
THE RESULTS
Smollett, a gay black man, was found guilty of five counts of disorderly conduct Thursday for lying to police about being attacked by pro-Trump bigots in January 2019.
96% of readers said Smollett should be sent to prison for his antics.
4% of readers said he should walk free.
Meanwhile, Nenye Uche, Smollett’s lead attorney, pledged Thursday to appeal his conviction, telling reporters: “We feel 100% confident that this case will be won on appeal” and “we remain 100% confident in our client’s innocence.”
