Jussie Smollett convicted of staging hate crime, lying to cops

Jussie Smollett was found guilty on 5 out of 6 charges at his hate crime hoax trial.

After a contentious week of witness testimony, counsel arguments and deliberation, the jury found Smollett guilty on the first five counts, and he was acquitted on a sixth count of lying to a detective weeks after Smollett said he was attacked.

Smollett was stoic as the jury read the verdict. The actor sat upright and stared straight ahead without showing any outward emotion. 

Judge Linn said he will order a pre-sentencing investigation, and attorneys will meet via conference call to determine a date for pre-sentencing motions
