Chicago A jury in Chicago began deliberating Wednesday in the case of Jussie Smollett, the"Empire" actor who was charged with six felony counts for allegedly staging a fake hate crime in January 2019 and falsely reporting it to police.

In closing arguments Wednesday, special prosecutor Dan Webb accused Smollett of lying under oath. He laid out six key pieces of evidence he said proved the actor planned the fake attack with the assistance of Bola and Ola Osundairo, two acquaintances from the show."He was hoping the Osundairo brothers would not cooperate with the police," Webb said."He got exposed, and now we're in a trial. That's what happened.

Joe Biden JoeBiden United States official What happened today to must never be tolerated in this country. We must stand up and demand that we no longer give this hate safe harbor; that homophobia and racism have no place on our streets or in our hearts. We are with you, Jussie

He is guilty.

There’s another trial that’s way more important you might want to check out

Nobody cares!!!

If racism is so prevalent, so daily, pervasive, so systemic, why would he have to conjure up a race hate crime?

His trial is more intense than The murderer Kyle R.

We the jury find the defendant “Guilty of being so self absorbed and narcissistic that he actually thought his bad acting could be more convincing than the actual evidence.”

Jussie has to have some psychological problems. You have to be messed up to sit down, plan and carry out a scheme like that. He really had too much time on his hands
