>Obstruction is not the only potential charge. If the recent reports are accurate, Smollett has intentionally filed a false police report. Filing false police report falls under the Disorderly Conduct statute in Illinois. According to 720 ILCS 5/26-1(a)(4), a person commits disorderly conduct when he knowingly transmits to the police department a false report that a crime has been committed knowing at the time of the transmission that there is no reasonable ground for it. The penalty for such an offense is a Class 4 felony punishable by 1-3 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

...

Hmmm between 1 and 3 years.... 4x3=12 years hmmmmmmm let me dream...

>What can Smollet Expect

>While Smollett faces misdemeanor and felony charges punishable by jail time, incarceration is not guaranteed. Several factors come into play when a defendant is sentenced, namely the severity of the crime, the defendant’s criminal history, and the stance of the victim. While making a false police report is relatively common in Chicago, it rarely generates the publicity that Smollett’s case has. Chicago Police investigated the case as a possible hate crime, the FBI became involved, and the case was peppered across newspapers, magazines, and the evening news. The claims tapped into people’s deepest emotions causing a ripple effect that culminated in coverage on Good Morning America, and celebrities and politicians issuing statements on their Twitter accounts. Given the high profile nature of the case, it might be difficult to extend any leniency to Smollett, despite many felony cases being reduced to misdemeanors for defendants with good backgrounds.

>As the investigation sifts through the dark nebula of conflicting facts and reports, the outlook of a resolution is just as bleak. Either Smollett has been telling the truth all along, making him not only the victim of a hate crime, but a victim whose authenticity was mercilessly questioned, or he is a simply a self-serving fabulist, deceitful to his core.
