Closing arguments set in actor Jussie Smollett’s trial

actor Jussie Smollett, who is accused of staging a racist, anti-gay attack against himself in downtown Chicago to get publicity.

Smollett called the Osundairo brothers’ testimony that he paid them $3,500 to carry out the fake attack “100 per cent false,” and described how he was the victim of a hate crime while walking in his neighbourhood early on Jan. 29, 2019. He also testified that a $3,500 check he wrote for Abimbola Osundairo was for meal and workout plans because he was trying to get toned for an upcoming music video.

Webb’s cross-examination also revealed some inconsistencies in Smollett’s testimony, including about whether he sent private messages to confirm the timing of the alleged attack and whether his attackers were white, as police say Smollett told them.

Going to jail….
