martin. areva, what do you think is the key question or consideration that this jury is face ing? >> i think it's credibility, katenting the picture of being attacked by these two brothers in what he described as a racist, homophobic rage, that involved the use of a noose, racial slurs. but yoernd, you have these two brothers who took the witness stand for the prosecution and told a different story, a story of being paid by jussie smollett to stage the attack for purposes of instagram and social media and publicity. so the jurors will going to have to really decide who's telling the truth. jussie smollett took the witness stand in his own defense, so he gave his version of the events and, you know, remained consistent that this was a hate crime, that this was not staged, that he did not pay these brothers to attack him. but jurors will have to decide who's telling the truth. that can be very difficult sometimes for jurors. >> everyone accusing everyone of lying from the witness stand in this trial. it's pretty interesting. joey, i want to turn to a very different trial that we are following very closely as well, t
