According to CBS News Chicago and Fox News, Detective Michael Theis testified that he wouldn't give a sample for a DNA test to identify the attackers because he was black and openly gay.
According to CBS News Chicago, Theis testified that between 24 and 26 officers worked on the case.
The detective said he directed so much manpower to investigate the incident because it was horrible and there was a lot of public attention to his claims.
According to Theis, investigators determined that the attack on himself was staged.
The Osundairo brothers told the police that Empire star Jussie had staged the attack because he was unhappy with the studio's treatment of him.
Uche said in his opening statement that Jussie was a real victim.
The key background.
The actor and musician claimed that he was attacked by two men who poured a liquid on him and hung a rope around his neck. Chicago police initially reported that Smollett was reluctant to report the attack, which he commented on during an interview with ABC in the weeks after the incident, saying he refused to hand over his phone to protect the private information stored on it. After learning that one of the brothers had worked on Empire, the police turned their attention to them, and they were released without charges. The actor was indicted on six counts of disorderly conduct for making false statements to police, but those charges were later dropped.
The case of the J-Smoltz trial has been explained.
The location and private data of the star of the show was ordered by the internet giant.
