Jussie Smollett

The Illinois Supreme Court reversed the conviction of MAGA hate hoaxer Jussie Smollett.

Jussie Smollett asked the Illinois Supreme Court to overturn his conviction after the appellate court denied his request.

WGNTV reported:

The Illinois Supreme Court has reversed the conviction of actor Jussie Smollett.

The former “Empire” actor took his case to the Illinois Supreme Court in September in a last-ditch effort to have his 2021 conviction overturned.

A statement from the IL Supreme Court on Thursday said: “Today we resolve a question about the State’s responsibility to honor the agreements it makes with defendants. 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.”

In December 2021, Smollett was found guilty on 5 charges of disorderly conduct – one count for each time he lied to police following the hoax ‘attack.’

Smollett was found not guilty on a 6th count of lying to a detective.

In March 2022 a judge scolded Jussie Smollett for his narcissism and hypocrisy before sentencing him to 150 days in jail.

Smollett was also sentenced to 30 months probation and ordered to pay $120,126 restitution and a $25,000 fine.

A dramatic scene unfolded in court after the judge sentenced Jussie Smollett to 150 days in prison last year.

The Gateway Pundit immediately pegged this ‘racist, homophobic’ attack against Smollett as a hate hoax in January 2019.

Smollett laughably claimed two ‘white men’ ambushed him at 2 am in 20-degree weather in downtown Chicago while screaming “This is MAGA country!”

The ‘Empire’ actor said the attackers poured bleach on him and put a noose around his neck while verbally abusing him with homophobic and racial slurs.

It turns out Jussie Smollett paid two Nigerian brothers over $3,000 to help him pull off the “MAGA Country” hate hoax crime.

In previously released footage, the Osundairo brothers are seen purchasing all of the supplies for the hate hoax such as red hats, rope and bleach.

Despite all of the evidence presented in the court proving Smollett recruited the Nigerians to help him with this hate hoax, the ‘Empire’ actor lied to the court for hours and claimed he was a victim of a real crime.
