Actor Jussie Smollett spends more than six hours on the stand during his first day testifying in his Chicago trial on charges that he faked a hate crime attack on himself. Today, again, 39-year-old Smollett faces prosecutors who say the "Empire" actor was the mastermind of a orchestrated attack. Smollett claimed he was attacked by two men who hurled racial and homophobic slurs at him. They also left a noose around his neck. Two brothers who worked as extras on “Empire” later came forward and said Smollett had paid them to “attack” him.

Ethan Crumbley's parents have joined him in jail, just not in the same cell. The mother and father of the teen charged in the school shooting at Oxford High School have been charged involuntary manslaughter after taking no action when called to the school. A teacher saw a disturbing drawing made by the boy, and the parents were called in and told that Ethan Crumbley must get counseling with 48 hours. The school shooting happened shortly thereafter. Jennifer and James Crumbley pled not guilty to the charges. Police issued a "Be on the Lookout" for the parents when they failed to turn themselves in. They were arrested near the Canadian border.

The sex trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell continues. The wealthy socialite is accused of being a central player in Jeffrey Epstein’s decades of sexual abuse of minors. Defense attorneys say Maxwell is a scapegoat taking the fall for a man’s misdeeds. The defense portrays Maxwell as a victim, and the accusers as basically in it for the money Epstein’s estate set aside for victims of his abuse after his death. The first witness of the trial was Lawrence Paul Visoski Jr., who worked as a pilot shuttling Epstein. Now, one by one, the accusers take the stand.

Actor Jussie Smollett’s Chicago trial on charges that he faked a hate crime attack on himself has begun. 39-year-old Smollett was starring in the television show “Empire” when he claimed he was attacked by two men who hurled racial and homophobic slurs at him. They also left a noose around his neck. Two brothers who worked as extras on “Empire” later came forward and said Smollett had paid them to “attack” him. Prosecutors charged the actor but Cook County Prosecutor Kim Foxx dropped all the charges in return for community service and forfeiture of his bond. Outrage prompted the appointment of a special prosecutor, who indicted Smollett on six disorderly conduct charges.
