Just consider the cost to society from this over-privileged a-hole:
According to Businessinsider, he was making as much as $165k per episode on that TV show. That comes to almost $3 million annually, But, that wasn't enough for him. So, he staged this fake attack to generate publicity, "sympathy," and to get a big raise. Since he's a "celebrity," Chicago PD had to divert resources in that crime-ridden city to find his "attackers," at the expense of real victims of street violence--so many of whom are black. Then he went to trial instead of admitting his fraud--more money and resources diverted. Now he's appealing, drawing on more public resources. He can afford it.
As always, there are two kinds of "justice" in America--for the rich, and for everyone else.
