US Actor Convicted of Staging Attack, Lying to Police
(Worthy News) – Jussie Smollett was found guilty Thursday on five of the six counts of felony disorderly conduct charges after more than eight hours of deliberation.
The former “Empire” actor was found not guilty on the charge of lying about being a victim of aggravated battery. Smollett had some facial bruising after the incident. During the trial, prosecutors argued that medical evidence showed the “attackers” did not actually try to hurt him.
Police said Smollett made false reports about being the victim of a racist and homophobic hate crime. He faces up to three years in prison. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
