thanks, dr. giroir. so we are waiting for a potential verdict in the jussie smollett trial. the actor accused of staging his own hate crime. he said the claims that its a hoax are 100% false. so far the jury has asked one question. matt finn is outside the courthouse. it s been quiet in there. we wait for the verdict. hi, matt. hi, martha. we re approaching the 8 hour mark of the jury being in the deliberation room. so far no questions, no difficulties that we re aware of. very quiet. yesterday before the jury left, they asked for one thing. they asked for a copy of the prosecution s calendar, which had red x marks on dates that the prosecution felt were significant. like every other day, jussie smollett is not in the courthouse. we re told he will come with his family and supporters.
