(AP) – Jussie Smollett’s defense attorneys say they have rested their case in the former “Empire” actor’s trial on charges he lied to police about being the victim of a racist, anti-gay attack. Smollett’s lawyer said Tuesday that the defense has finished, wrapping up two days of testimony that included Smollett’s own account of what happened in downtown Chicago the night of the alleged attack in January 2019.
