The DA must have realized that there was a possibility of the glove not fitting and wasting a lot of DA resources, especially against high priced lawyers.  So they took a plea of fine and time served.  

Which is actually pretty common in most DA's.

Nothing to see here. Move along now.

The proper white person response is at the dinner table over a plate of meatloaf, "This damn country is going to hell in a handbasket. Pass the mashed potatoes Marge and quit giving me that look, you know I'm right."

Are a lot of the same people really okey dokey with this Smollet thing or is that something you've decided is true?

[Lhalo]

I'm wondering if federal charges will be filed. He faked a death threat via the USPS. If you or I did that we would be in a world of shit.
