7:34Now PlayingAfter six days of testimony, a Chicago jury has found actor Jussie Smollett guilty on five of six counts for staging a hate crime against himself.

CK Hoffler, chairwoman of the Rainbow Push Coalition, joins Charles Blow on “Prime” to discuss the crime and trial.
All this and more on “Prime.”
