Fox News
Day one of Jussie Smollett’s trial has officially begun in Chicago with jury selection kicking off Monday.
Smollett arrived at the court in a navy blue suit and wool coat to match with a white dress shirt and gray striped tie underneath. He wore a black face mask as he arrived at the building with his arms linked to his family members who were there to support him as he argues his innocence. He looked serious and stoic as he entered the courtroom with his supporters creating a wall around him. His family members accompanied him into the courtroom where they emotionally said goodbye and left him at the defense table to watch the proceedings elsewhere in the building.
Seating within the courtroom is limited to accommodate the jury selection pool and requirements on social distancing due to COVID-19.
