Jussie Smollett is charged with six counts of felony disorderly conduct. Prosecutors allege that he staged a racist and homophobic attack on himself. He has pleaded not guilty.After just 10 hours of deliberation, a Chicago jury has found actor Jussie Smollett guilty on five of six counts for filing a false police report related to the hoax racist attack he suffered at the hands of two men in January 2019.
Smollett was charged with six counts of felony disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report.The defense rested its case on Tuesday after a week of testimony, with Smollett taking the stand in his own defense. He alleged Abimbola and Ola Osundairo, the brothers who carried out the assault, were lying when they said during the trial that they were friends of Smollett and had been paid $3,500 to carry out the attack.
Smollett, 39, received widespread support in the wake of the attack and made an emotional appearance at a concert in early February 2019, but then word emerged after authorities spoke to the Osundario brothers' return from overseas that the attack was allegedly a hoax. Smollett was charged on Feb. 20, 2019, with Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson saying the attack was orchestrated because he was unhappy with his salary on the Fox hit show.
The charges were dropped against Smollett in March 2019, but a special prosecutor announced an indictment for the six disorderly conduct charges was handed down in February 2020. Smollett pleaded not guilty.This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
And where is ABC apology for backing this a hole before knowing any facts? Race baiting state run fake news!! Just saying ABC ran to the race bait.
Betrayal at its worse.. he first betrays them by convincing them to act upon his plan.. they then betrayed him back by not convincing him it was a very bad ideal ❤️🐾❤️
He has for sure been subject to racism at one point in his life and he has for sure been subject to homophobia. That is not an excuse for what he did, this isn’t a win for anyone.
Duh.
Hope it was worth it
So by the left's way of thinking, no one was hurt so he will walk with no bail/jail time.
Tisk tisk tisk... Someone should remind this Fella about the story of the: 'Boy who cried wolf...' There is a moral too be had....

JussieSmollett hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah - first closer loser. Pathetic
Instead of playing a prisoner in the state pen, he will get to be one in real life. On the bright side, when he gets out he can draw on this experience for any potentially related future roles. 😁
I hope he gets the max for lying about being attacked. Race crimes are NO joke. Now he knows this.
Can't wait to hear how BLM gonna cry
Guilty!
This is not lead-story news! This is entertainment. Do better!

I’d hate to be a window in Chicago tonight…
Justice For Juicy!!! Hahahahhssh
The man ruined his life because he wanted to start a race war.
