CHICAGO — A jury found actor Jussie Smollett guilty on five of six felony disorderly conduct charges on Thursday, nearly three years after he was accused of falsely reporting a racist, homophobic attack directed toward him in Chicago.
The Cook County jury of six men and six women deliberated for more than two hours to end court proceedings Wednesday and continued deliberations for six hours on Thursday before reaching a verdict.
The former “Empire” actor showed no emotion as the verdicts were read, WLS-TV reported.
The lone not guilty verdict was for Smollett making a false report that he was a victim of an aggravated battery.
