Judge Nap: Jussie Smollett Could Face Years in Prison If Prosecutors ‘Get Aggressive’

EXCERPT:

NAPOLITANO: "Each time he lied is a separate and distinct offense, if prosecutors want to frame it that way. Filing the false report is an offense. Lying to them to back it up, the first time he met with them, is the second offense. Lying to them to back it up the second time he met with them. So sometimes they merge those into one charge, but if they really want to get aggressive with him, they will file and get the grand jury to approve several charges against him which expands his exposure in jail and gives  the police more negotiating latitude with his lawyers."
