It would be easier to accept some measure of leniency for Smollett, were he to have shown some remorse or contrition. But he and his lawyer are still out there denying any wrongdoing and continuing to stir the pot of racial strife. He is not helping himself or doing society any favors, so I wouldn't consider it an overreach of justice to lock him up for a little while.
