BREAKING: Jussie Smollett Jury Begins Deliberations In Jury Trial

The jury deciding the fate of former “Empire” star Jussie Smollett began its deliberations Wednesday afternoon after hearing closing arguments from the defense and state prosecutors.

As The Daily Wire previously reported, “Smollett is facing six felony charges of disorderly conduct for filing false police reports. The charges carry a potential jail sentence of up to three years. Smollett is expected to escape lockup if found guilty, however. Because nobody was physically hurt by his alleged crime and his lack of a criminal history, experts expect that Smollett would receive probation and community service if found guilty.”

Smollett has been accused of hiring two African brothers, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo, to stage a hate crime against him back in 2019.

“We have proven [that he is guilty] by overwhelming evidence,” Special Prosecutor Dan Webb said Wednesday afternoon. He added that the entire ordeal was “just plain wrong.”
