CHICAGO — Special prosecutor Dan Webb asked a judge Thursday to include “an appropriate amount of prison time” when sentencing Jussie Smollett for his conviction of lying to police in a staged hate crime.

Webb said during a sentencing hearing Thursday that he would not ask for a specific amount of time, leaving that to the Cook County judge’s discretion.

He also asked that Smollett be ordered to pay $130,000 in restitution to the city of Chicago.
