Jussie Smollett has had his conviction for lying to the police with a bizarre anti-Trump hoax 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 with an agreement that he would not be re-charged.
The actor’s hoax and subsequent arrest sparked a media firestorm years ago, as it was found that he had actually paid two Nigerian brothers – Abel and Ola Osundairo – to stage the incident.
