On what basis was the conviction overturned?

[JerseyDvl]

This is one of the reasons that Trump won. Separate and Unequal (In)Justice System.

Procedure... violation of due process. The fact that they made a plea deal and then pulled it and went to trial. No mention of just how controversial the deal was.

Taxpayers won not having to pay for the lying creep’s daily care.

Jussie Smollett’s conviction for racist, homophobic attack hoax tossed in stunning reversal

[I want the USA back]

Overturned on the basis of being black and gay.

[dfwgator]

Guilty as sin, free as a bird.

Dave Chappelle had a thing or two to say about Jessie.

His career, like Will Smith, is effectively over.

From what I could understand, the court case had already been decided and Smollett’s sentence served (fine paid, community service done), but then a special prosecutor was added after that, so he was basically tried twice for the same charges.

[1Old Pro]

His career, like Will Smith, is effectively over.

True, especially as Smollet is a D list actor.

[Frank Drebin]

Hahaha, such a great segment.

[RandallFlagg]

Well, I did enjoy him getting his face eaten my a xenomorph in Alien Covenant.
So, there’s that.

You can’t get a straight answer from any article.

Sounds like the SC said since the DA made a deal then the deal stands.

Ok. Has he been in jail all this time?

[rottweiller_inc]

Lizzy Borden was acquitted. She was shunned and mocked for the rest of her life. I don’t think he’ll like this outcome as much as he thinks.

[lee martell]

At this point, it doesn’t matter. Jussie will always be synonymous with lying, in an elaborate, transparent manner.
Someone left his cake out in the rain.

[MCSETots]

Essentially it’s a claim of double jeopardy. Fox, as corrupt as the day is long, was legally able to offer that phony deal.

Now Jussie can go back to claiming he didn’t do anything wrong . . .
