Bodycam video obtained by ABC7 show the moments Jussie Smollett was processed in the Cook County Jail, just after his courtroom outburst.
Jussie Smollett had an emotional outburst in a Chicago court room after he was sentenced, yelling "I am not suicidal!"After Smollett was sentenced on March 10, he yelled,"I am not suicidal!" His outburst was heard by millions, but what happened next is only being seen now.
A team of sheriff's deputies escorted Smollett to jail. Video and audio from a pair of body-worn cameras shows what looks like the opening scene of a prison movie. The I-Team obtained the video under a Freedom of Information Act filing. Just minutes from his 150-day sentence for lying about a hate crime he made up and staged, Smollett is searched and then led through a long tunnel between court and jail, by deputies who say they do this on occasion."Mr. Smollett, we are the ERT team, the Emergency Response Team, we handle all the high-profile guys, we handled R. Kelly when he was here," one deputy said.
"The fact that he had made false accusations against people in the past and being a high-profile target, those two components of the situation I think would have documented this type of video and audio recording of the events," former deputy U.S. Marshal Ed Farrell told the I-Team.
