Former Empire star Jussie Smollett was back in a Chicago court asking for additional charges used in the grand jury to be dropped because they are invalid.

Smollett is facing these new charges for an incident that happened in January 2019, where he allegedly staged a hate-crime against himself.

It’s the testimony of the two brothers, Abel and Ola Osundairo, that Smollett wants to be thrown out, according to Page Six.

According to Smollett’s attorneys, the renewed charges should be thrown out because they are based on “illegal and incompetent evidence.’
