Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the sentencing of actor Jussie Smollett, who was found guilty of falsely claiming to police that he was the victim of a hate crime attack, makes for a “clear message” to anyone who dares lie in her city.

The Democrat released a statement Thursday evening after the 39-year-old Smollett shouted, “I am not suicidal! And I am innocent!” as he was taken into custody. Cook County Judge James Linn sentenced Smollett to 150 days in jail, three years of probation, and fines and restitution for police overtime totaling $145,126.
