The former Empire actor, who is Black and gay, testified for more than five hours, denying he orchestrated the alleged attack, attempting to cast doubt on two of the prosecution's primary witnesses, and describing the early morning incident and his distrust for police.Special prosecutor Dan Webb will pick up his cross-examination when court begins around 9:15 a.m. CT.
Smollett said his relationship with Chicago police began to deteriorate after police said that his attackers wore red Make America Great Again hats, favored by supporters of former President Donald Trump. The actor said no when Uche asked whether he ever told police the alleged attackers were wearing the hats.And he said one of the reasons he did not give a police detective his cell phone when she asked for it was because he didn't think police believed his story.
Should be considered a hate crime when you fake a hate crime, hope he gets the maximum punishment
The prosecutor will be demonstrating to the jury how prosecutors make nooses with compliant defendants who don't know when to shut up. All the prosecutor has to do is hand the defendant the rope and let him make it himself.
No mention of Don Lemon , nope! Report everything but his text and convos with Don Lemon. This is why you are called fake news.
