The actor was buried in a return because he would soon be charged on 16 counts of crime disorderly behavior. Those charges were withdrawn later.

Smollett was then again indicated and later convicted of five crime counts of disorderly behavior. The star was sentenced to a probationary period of 30 months, including 150 days behind bars, and ordered fines to pay a total of more than $ 120,000.

He was lucky again, because in 2024 his conviction was reversed on procedural grounds, because it was found that the Reprosecution had violated the correct process.
