CHICAGO, IL - MARCH 14: Actor Jussie Smollett leaves Leighton Criminal Courthouse after his court appearance on March 14, 2019 in Chicago, Illinois. Smollett stands accused of arranging a homophobic, racist attack against himself in an attempt to raise his profile because he was dissatisfied with his salary on the Fox television drama "Empire."

<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []">As the <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/judge-dismisses-jussie-smolletts-request-to-drop-2019-case-of-allegedly-lying-to-police/">Jussie Smollett</a> trial in Chicago continues, many people are waiting to see what the outcome holds and if the actor is going to jail. However, we&#8217;re going to be waiting for another day because, after nearly two and a half hours, jurors have not come to a decision. As we previously reported, the actor was charged with six felony counts for allegedly staging a fake hate crime in January 2019 and falsely reporting it to police.</p>

<p>A lot of tea has been spilling, and today, during closing arguments before deliberations began, it was no different. According to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/08/us/jussie-smollett-closings/index.html">CNN</a>, special prosecutor Dan Webb accused Jussie of lying under oath. He brought out the receipts and laid out six key pieces of evidence, which he said proved the former &#8216;Empire&#8217; star planned the fake attack with the assistance of Bola and Ola Osundairo, two acquaintances from the show.</p>

<p> ;</p>
<p>&#8220;He was hoping the Osundairo brothers would not cooperate with the police,&#8221; said Prosecutor Webb. &#8220;He got exposed, and now we&#8217;re in a trial. That&#8217;s what happened.&#8221; Defense attorney Nenye Uche also had some interesting remarks for the Osundairo brothers. He called them intelligent criminals who were interested only in going after a famous celebrity&#8217;s money and their own fame. Attorney Uche said, &#8220;They lied to this court. They lied to this jury. They&#8217;re criminals. They&#8217;re the worst type of criminals.&#8221;</p>

<p>Each day of the trial becomes more entertaining. As we reported, Jussie took the stand yesterday and denied any wrongdoing in the controversial incident. So far, the 39-Year-Old has pleaded not guilty to six counts of disorderly conduct on suspicion of making false reports to police, which is punishable by up to three years in prison.</p>
<p>The jury is headed back to court tomorrow at 9:15 a.m. Roommates, do you think Jussie Smollett will be convicted?</p>
