Jussie Smollett's defense team plans to file an appeal after the actor was found guilty on five of the six disorderly conduct charges. The trial came to an end Thursday after almost two weeks.
After the verdict was read, Nenye Uche told reporters Smollett was disappointed and that he is "100% innocent." He said Smollett’s team is confident "he’s going to be cleared of all, all accusations on all charges."
"The verdict is inconsistent," he said during a press conference following the verdicts. "You can’t say Jussie is lying and say Jussie is not lying for the same exact incident."
