The lawyers for former Empire actor Jussie Smollett have filed a motion arguing that he shouldn't have to pay the city for the police investigation because he didn't know how much time and money the department would devote to his report.
His lawyers filed the motion this week, which maintains Smollett's innocence in staging the hate crime against himself as the police department has alleged, according to the Associated Press.
The Chicago Police Department decided to sue Smollett for $130,000 over his refusal to reimburse the city for the overtime payments made to officers who were investigating the alleged hate crime.

Prosecute this race baiter and get it over with already!
So his defense is stupidity?
Juicy. What a joke and a clown...
Does he know how much his attorneys will cost, or does he not have to worry about that?
Dave Chappelle really ripped into Smollett in his recent Netflix special. Highly recommend watching it!!
You mean juicy smooliet.
Ignorance of the law is not a defense.
Jussie should have filed a FOIA request before his crime spree. That way he'd have had a firm estimate in hand before fitting his faux noose to himself. Chicago should put a lien on him.
Why isn't this POS in prison.
This racist pos could have caused race riots and deaths all over the country.He should get one year in jail minimum.
