More than a year ago, former 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett was accused of lying to police about being the victim of a racist and anti-LGBTQ hate crime.
Smollett was initially charged with 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct, which eventually got whittled down to a six-count indictment.

Jurnee says her brother's ongoing legal battle has been personally traumatizing.
