Former prosecutor Marie Pereira and criminal defense attorney Karen Felecia Nance join “BNC Live” host Tashanea Whitlow to discuss the ongoing incident. According to Nance, Smollett is now facing six counts related to him lying to law enforcement officers. If convicted, Smollett faces up to three years in prison.
