The photos show Jussie with Abimbola - who is referred to as Abel or Bola - but the pictures do not include his brother, Olabinjo (Ola) Osundairo. They were taken in the days and weeks before the January 29 attack that the brothers say Jussie orchestrated to raise his profile. Jussie famously told police he was beaten in the street and had bleach poured on him by two 'MAGA-hat' wearing 'white or pale' men who shouted racist and homophobic slurs at him. Police soon identified the two Osundairo brothers as the men who attacked him by tracing their Uber and taxi rides that night. When they took them into custody, they said that Jussie put them up to the stunt but never thought police would get involved, and that it would help raise his celebrity profile.

Jussie told the trial that he and Abel were occasional lovers who 'made out' in bathhouses and masturbated together Jussie and Abel are shown together in July 2018 (left) and again in September 2018 (right). Jussie said they had a romantic relationship but he didn't spend time with Abel's brother Olabinjo, not pictured The pair are shown in a drunken video taken inside a nightclub in July 2018, according to TMZ. Jussie told the trial Abel would procure drugs for him at times and was also his personal trainer The actor is in court again on Wednesday morning to hear closing arguments. He has been charged with six counts of felony 4 disorderly conduct for allegedly lying to the police about it. At the trial, Jussie told the jury that he and Abel had visited bathhouses together where they 'made out' and 'masturbated together'. Abel denied those claims on the stand and said the pair were only ever just friends. A court sketch of Abimbola Osundairo, aka Abel Osundairo, the brother Jussie partied with, shows him testifying against Smollett last week Abel is shown outside court after testifying against Smollett last week. Olabinjo Osundairo, who goes by Ola, was not as close to the star. They told DailyMail.com at the trial that they weren't there out of malice or to seal his fate, but to tell the truth One of the photos shows the pair and others partying at the Electric Hotel in Chicago on January 19, just ten days before the attack, according to TMZ. Others were taken in September 2018 and July 2018, according to the site. There are also videos of Jussie and Abel at the Chicago nightclub LiqrBox. Smollett admitted during trial that the pair were friends, saying they were sometimes sexual with each other, but he says they didn't hang out with Ola, the other brother, who Jussie said 'creeped' him out. His legal defense has varied from claiming the brothers are homophobes who attacked him because they 'hated who he is' to claiming that they did it to scare him into hiring them as security. The brothers were arrested in February 2019 after returning from Nigeria. The 39-year-old actor was pictured arriving on Wednesday surrounded by his family, who have supported him throughout.
