      The charges carry a possible sentence of three years in prison, though legal experts say Jussie Smollett is more likely to get probation and be ordered to perform community service.http://apne.ws/fdufT8b

          Jussie Smollett's defense attorney says he will appeal the former "Empire" actor's conviction for staging an anti-gay, racist attack on himself then lying to Chicago police about it. Attorney Nenye Uche said Smollett is “100% innocent.”http://apne.ws/ppVWVjy
