Jussie Smollett appears in court on Wednesday
CHICAGO — Actor Jussie Smollett is expected to be back in Cook County court Wednesday morning for a hearing.
Smollett is accused of staging a racist and homophobic attack on himself in Chicago in 2019. The actor has pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence.
The judge will be ordering an evidentiary hearing, which is expected to delay the case even further.

How Do You Solve an Extinction Mystery? Put a Tiny Computer on a Snail.
In 2017, a rosy wolf snail crawled along a sunlit trail in Tahiti with an unexpected passenger: a bespoke computer the size of an aphid, screwed delicately on its shell like a top hat.
This particular species of snail is implicated in the extinctions of as many as 134 snail species worldwide. People introduced the carnivorous rosy wolf snail to Tahiti decades ago, and the predatory species left few survivors.
But one Tahitian species managed to survive in dozens of valleys on the island: the tiny yogurt-colored snail Partula hyalina. “There must be something special about them,” said Cindy Bick, a researcher at the University of Michigan.
Now, with solar data collected from some of the world’s tiniest computers attached to the shell of the rosy wolf and the leafy habitat of P. hyalina, Bick and her colleagues have illuminated how P. hyalina’s pale shell enabled the species to skirt extinction. Their results were published in June in Communications Biology.
In 2012, when Bick was still a graduate student, she began investigating the mystery of P. hyalina’s survival along with Diarmaid Ó Foighil, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and curator at the university’s Museum of Zoology. Together, they published a 2014 paper suggesting the species’ more bountiful clutch of offspring helped it survive better than other species. But even this was not enough to explain P. hyalina’s rare success. “It’s doing more than surviving,” Ó Foighil said.
Most land snails prefer the shade. The dark-shelled rosy wolf snail, like many species, would dry out like jerky if left in the sun. But Bick read while doing research in the field journals of an early 20th-century malacologist that P. hyalina were often found on forest edges, where trees thin out in sunlight.
Bick and Ó Foighil started thinking: If P. hyalina’s milky shell can reflect back and tolerate more sunlight, sunny forest fringes might offer a safe haven free from the rosy wolf. They just needed a way to measure how much sunlight each species received each day.
As the two zoologists were pondering snails, across campus, David Blaauw’s engineering lab had created the world’s smallest computer that has a battery: a 2-by-5-by-2 millimeter sensor slightly bigger than an aphid. The sensors receive data with visible light and transmit it through a radio.
Several years later, Blaauw’s team received a request that stood out: to attach the tiny computers to carnivorous snails in Tahiti. Bick’s proposal seemed perfect — a chance to test the sensors in the real world with collaborators close by and assist in a project that could advance wildlife conservation.
To prep the sensors for the snails, Blaauw’s lab added a tiny energy harvester with solar cells so the sensor could recharge its battery in the sun. They cocooned the system in epoxy to waterproof the sensor, protect it from severe light and cushion it from the rough-and-tumble life of the average snail.
They had one problem. They needed to endow the tiny computers with the power to measure light but keep the system free of large batteries that would flatten a snail. Inhee Lee, now an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Pittsburgh who was then a researcher in Blaauw’s lab, helped solve the puzzle. Lee and Blaauw simply reused the harvester, and measured the speed of its solar charge as a proxy for sunlight.
Using some invasive snails found in a Michigan garden, the researchers first tried and failed to stick the computers to the shells with magnets and Velcro until they figured out how to glue a metal nut to the surface and screw the sensor into the nut. Then the snails and their tiny passengers were ready to weather the simulated elements (buckets of water).
In August 2017, Bick and Lee arrived in Tahiti with 55 sensors. They hopped from valley to valley guided by Trevor Coote, an author on the paper and a specialist on these land snails who was based in Tahiti. (Coote died of COVID-19 in February.)
