16:08Now PlayingActor Jussie Smollett was convicted by a Cook County jury of staging and reporting a hate crime as it ends a weeklong trial over what transpired in Chicago almost 3 years ago.
After deliberating for almost nine hours over two days, the jury found him guilty of five out of six counts of disorderly conduct for lying to police.
During the trial, the prosecution argued Smollett staged the attack for publicity.
Criminal defense attorneys Joseph Tully and Tony Thedford join Yodit Tewolde on “Making the Case” to analyze the verdict.
All this and more on “Making the Case.”
