Just found this, Smollett’s case went before an appeals court. Despite Judge Linn’s refusal to delay the actor’s 150-day sentence pending an appeal at the sentencing, two other judges on a three-person panel have ruled that Smollett should be released as he waits for his next day in court. His release was ordered on Wednesday, March 16, and is reportedly dependent on a $150,000 bond.
