Yes! Here comes the real pain of justice:

It’s just getting started....

Embattled actor Jussie Smollett still faces a $130,000 lawsuit from the City of Chicago – and more legal trouble from the brothers he hired to attack him – after he was convicted of staging his own assault in a botched career move.
The Chicago Police Department came to the conclusion after more than two dozen cops spent weeks investigating the bogus story, logging 1,836 overtime hours in the process, a July 2019 legal filing said.
The city was faced with a $130,106.15 overtime tab and has since confirmed that it will press ahead with its lawsuit against Smollett to reclaim the cash. Their chances of a win or settlement are now all but guaranteed in the wake of the star’s conviction.
Chicago police initially demanded $130k from Smollett days after Cook County DA Kim Foxx dropped charges against him in 2019, with Smollett’s legal team stating that he “won’t be intimidated” into paying it. Now he likely won’t have a choice.
And that’s not all – a lawsuit filed against Smollett’s legal team by the Nigerian Osundairo brothers Smollett hired to attack him also stands.
There’s also the possibility that Smollett faces additional consequences for perjury during the trial.
In interviews since the jury verdict, one juror has spoken out to comment that Smollett was a really bad actor on the stand.
EDIT: Wait folks, I screwed up in my commentary. The article is correct, but my comment is not. $130k is nothing to this racist. It should be 130 million. $130k will not hurt him.
