Jussie Smollett pleads not guilty to renewed charges of 'lying to police' over 'hoax' race attack in Chicago last year

Jussie Smollett returned to a Chicago courtroom on Monday to plead not guilty to felony charges that he lied to police over a 'hoax' attack he was accused of making up last January.

Smollett, 37, has been charged with six counts of felony disorderly conduct during Monday's hearing.

Moments after he arrived, Abel and Ola Osundairo - the two Nigerian brothers who say he paid them to attack him - showed up at the courthouse with their attorney.

She told DailyMail.com last week that the pair were prepared to testify for either side in the case and that they want Smollett to 'tell the truth'.

All Criminals plea not guilty

buys them time to not be incarcerated.

His legal trial may take up to a year an a half.

Smollett needs to do real time in a real jail if this was a white racist incident he would already be serving time, but since he's such a great TV star and black he gets away with it. I wish he'd go to jail and we would never hear this name again. He did it to get more attention and thought it would make him a big star.
