Jussie Smollett has had his conviction overturned in a sensational ruling from the Illinois Supreme Court.
The court found that the former ‘Empire’ actor had his rights violated by a special prosecutor’s decision to retry him after initial charges against him were dropped.
Smollett was convicted in December 2021 for lying to the police about a report of two men attacking him, yelling homophobic slurs and placing a noose around his neck while wearing MAGA hats.
