Jussie Smollett took the stand on day 5 of his criminal trial in Chicago, Illinois where he is accused of orchestrating the hate attack he claimed to be a victim of in January 2019. During his six hours of testimony, the former "Empire" actor stated that he did drugs and "made out" with one of the two brothers accused of attacking him.

The woman was found around 2pm on Sunday on Eastern Avenue in Northeast, D.C., with multiple shots and was pronounced dead soon after.

Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C. shared that the two robbed at least 20 people at gunpoint or knifepoint between Oct. 17 and Nov. 1, 2020.
