‘Empire’ Star Jussie Smollett Convicted For FAKING FELONY HATE CRIME: Conviction Overturned

Jussie Smollett, the former “Empire” actor, was convicted of orchestrating a hate crime against himself one cold night in Chicago. Following the conviction on five counts of disorderly conduct, he was sentenced to 150 days, but only served six days in jail while maintaining his innocence.

Recently, the Illinois Supreme Court made a significant decision to overturn Smollett’s conviction. While not delving into whether the crime was committed or not, the court focused on the violation of Smollett’s constitutional rights during the second prosecution, which ensued after the initial charges were dropped.

The state’s highest court has ordered the case against Smollett to be dismissed.
