Watch as Jussie Smollett learns his sentence for orchestrating a fake hate-crime attack that shocked the nation.
The hearing is expected to first deal with Smollett’s long-shot effort to get the guilty verdict thrown out. Motions for a new trial are very rarely granted, but they offer a preview of the arguments that might be brought to a higher court if Smollett chooses to appeal his conviction. After that, prosecutors and defense attorneys will have a chance to present witnesses and argue in favor of a lighter or heavier sentence.
A few of Smollett’s supporters, including family members, are expected to speak or submit statements.
