Prosecutor Dan Webb rose to question witness Jussie Smollett, the actor accused of faking an assault for publicity in early 2019.

Courtroom 700 at George Leighton Criminal Courthouse on the West Side of Chicago, was a very different place to the intersection where Smollett was allegedly attacked by two men.
