The Illinois Supreme Court overturned Jussie Smollett's conviction for lying to police and staging a hate crime, stating that he was unjustly prosecuted after charges were dropped against him. The court ruled that the state was bound by the agreement made with Smollett when the case was originally dropped in 2019. Smollett's lawyer expressed his client's satisfaction with the ruling, maintaining Smollett's innocence. The special prosecutor in the case disagreed with the ruling, arguing that the evidence presented at trial showed Smollett orchestrated a fake hate crime. [Extracted from the article] |
