During sentencing, Linn repeatedly called Smollett, "narcissistic, selfish and arrogant."

And Smollett proved the Judge right by walking away with his fist in the air.

I wish they would have fined him an exorbitant amount of money as well. His shenanigans must have cost the taxpayers quite a bit of money. $120k seems like not enough
