Jussie Smollett conviction overturned by Illinois Supreme Court
Jussie Smollett was originally convicted of orchestrating a hate crime in December 2021
The Illinois Supreme Court overturned Jussie Smollett's hate crime hoax conviction Thursday.
"Today we resolve a question about the State’s responsibility to honor the agreements it makes with defendants," the court wrote in documents obtained by Fox News Digital. "Specifically, we address whether a dismissal of a case by nolle prosequi allows the State to bring a second prosecution when the dismissal was entered as part of an agreement with the defendant and the defendant has performed his part of the bargain. We hold that a second prosecution under these circumstances is a due process violation, and we therefore reverse defendant’s conviction."
Smollett, who is Black and gay, reported to Chicago police that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack by two men wearing ski masks in January 2019.

Especially as a former Chicagoan and knowing the lay of the land and the bizzaro things that clown claimed.
Welcome back to the real world Juicy Smollette, just go back to being just as anonymous as you were in 2019.
