The lone Black juror in the Jussie Smollett trial is speaking out for the first time. In an exclusive interview with WLS-TV, Andre Hope says Smollett’s claim that he was attacked in a hate crime by the Osundairo brothers simply made no sense. The 63-year-old retired civil servant said one piece of evidence convinced him Smollett had made up the story: the noose, which police video showed Smollett leaving on his neck. Hope also said he was disappointed to have only been the Black person on the jury.
