Judge James Linn, who sentenced Jussie Smollett to 150 days in jail, has been on the bench in Cook County for more than three decades.
Jussie Smollett had an emotional outburst in a Chicago court room after he was sentenced, yelling "I am not suicidal!"
"I think he did what the judges should do. You basically knew what his thoughts were. He explained, you know , what he thought about, the case and his reasoning for the particular sentence that he chose, and he followed the law," said Daniel Locallo, former Cook County Judge. Locallo became a Cook County judge about the same time as Linn and is now retired.
