(NewsNation Now) — A jury didn’t believe Jussie Smollett. The former “Empire” star was found guilty on five of six felony counts after filing false police reports in connection with a staged hate crime attack that he orchestrated in January of 2019. Terri Austin, host and legal analyst on the Law & Crime Network,  and former Georgia judge Glenda Hatchett weigh in on the verdict.

Austin also discusses a case in Texas where a homeowner was acquitted after shooting and killing a police officer at their door.

In tonight’s Mediaite segment, we look at what happened after someone set fire to a Christmas tree outside of Fox News.

Then, Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood helps break down body camera footage that shows a suspect shooting at officers who are trying to rescue people from a house on fire.
