hate-crime-hoax-trial

The 'Empire' alum, who claimed to be attacked in Chicago in 2019, was
found guilty on 5 of 6 charges

Jussie Smollett has been found guilty on 5 out of 6 charges in the alleged
hate crime hoax trial.

After a contentious week of witness testimony, counsel arguments and
deliberation, the jury found Smollett guilty on the first five counts and
he was acquitted on a sixth count, of lying to a detective in mid-
February, weeks after Smollett said he was attacked.

Smollett was stoic as the jury read the verdict. The actor sat upright and
stared straight ahead without showing any real emotion.

Judge Linn said he will order a pre-sentencing investigation and attorneys
will meet via conference call to determine a date for pre-sentencing
motions

The judge also said the jury will not be speaking to the media today, if
they ever choose to. He is also having deputies escort them to their cars.

WINDS DOWN

The 39-year-old "Empire" alum was charged with six counts of disorderly
conduct related to false statements to Chicago police officers in regard
to a 2019 hate crime against himself. In 2019, he claimed that two men
attacked him due to his skin color and sexual orientation.

Since being accused of staging the attack, Smollett has maintained his
innocence and said during his two-day testimony that "there was no hate
crime hoax from my standpoint."

Prosecutors, however, argued that Smollett carried out a "dry run" of the
attack the day before it occurred in 2019.

JUSSIE SMOLLETT TRIAL: ACTOR ALSO FIGHTING BATTLE IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC
OPINION

Among the surprising claims made in Smollett's testimony was the
revelation that the actor received a text from CNN's Don Lemon, supposedly
relaying information that the Chicago Police Department didn’t believe
Smollett's account of what happened.

Additionally, he pushed back against testimonies from Bola Osundairo, one
of the alleged attackers, claiming that he'd purchased drugs from the man
and "made out" with him at a gay bathhouse.

Osundairo testified that he is not gay and their relationship was not
sexual in nature. He also previously stated that he did not sell drugs to
Smollett but merely acquired them for him.

The charge is a class 4 felony that carries a prison sentence of up to
three years, but experts have said if convicted, Smollett would likely be
placed on probation and ordered to perform community service.
