Testimony of the Lone Black Juror in Smollett Trial

Andre Hope, the only black juror in the Jussie Smollett trial, explains why he voted to convict. He stated that Smollett's story lacked common sense, particularly the claim that he kept a noose around his neck for police to see. Hope expressed shock at being the only African American on the jury but remained confident in the guilty verdict.
