Unbelievable!!! So, what is this Gay privilege-Celebrity privilege-Black privilege-
Criminal privilege?????????

An Illinois appeals court voted 2-1 to allow Smollett to go free on a $150,000 recognizance bond while he appeals his conviction. Smollett won't have to pay that amount but agrees to appear in court as ordered. A video message from Uche posted on Smollett's Instagram account declared the ruling a "huge win in what will be a longer road ahead" and proclaimed, "Jussie is coming home tonight."
Smollett's lawyers filed an emergency motion to stay his sentence. The actor, who is Black and gay, was convicted on five felony counts of disorderly conduct for lying to police about being the victim of a racist and homophobic hate crime. He was acquitted on a sixth count. Smollett has maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal.
In a filing on March 11, Smollett's attorneys argued he's the "target of vicious threats in social media forums which reflects the hatred and wish for physical harm" towards the entertainer, "which he may experience during incarceration." They said if he was in segregated incarceration or protected custody while in jail, it could "cause extraordinary damage to his mental health." The filing also noted the actor's "compromised immune system" amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
