Jurors in Chicago will begin the second day of deliberations Thursday in the trial of actor Jussie Smollett, who has been charged in connection with allegedly staging a fake hate crime and falsely reporting it to police nearly three years ago.
The jury of six men and six women deliberated for more than two hours to end court proceedings Wednesday and are due back in at 9:15 a.m. CT.
Evidence being considered includes testimony from Smollett as well as two acquaintances he knew from the set of the television show "Empire," who stated in court last week that Smollett had recruited them to participate in the scheme.
