Testimony to begin in trial of ex-"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett

Testimony is expected to begin Tuesday in the trial of actor Jussie Smollett nearly three years after he was accused of lying to Chicago police when he claimed he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack. CBS Chicago is told a Chicago police officer will be taking the stand.

A jury of six men and six women was empaneled Monday. Opening statements began afterward.

Special prosecutor Dan Webb began by laying out his case for the jury, saying Smollett's story about a racist and homophobic attack was all a hoax.
