Jussie Smollett's conviction overturned by Democrat-controlled Illinois Supreme Court
Another embarrassing episode from the disastrous Kim Foxx misrule as Cook County's prosecutor leaves a disappointing result.
The stench from Jussie Smollett's racist attack hoax---and Chicago is still not "MAGA country"--should plague him for the rest of his life.
There is a 4-3 Democrat majority on the state Supreme Court.
From the Chicago Sun-Times:
Foxx leaves office in two weeks. The prosecutor who is reluctant to prosecute is one of the worst public servants in Illinois history, and the competition is steep among the crooks and incompetents who get elected here. Her boneheaded decision to drop charges related to Smollett's hoax will haunt Foxx for the rest of her life. So, there's a little bit of upside here for those of us who believe people should be accountable for their misdeeds.In a blockbuster ruling Thursday, the state Supreme Court overturned the conviction of actor Jussie Smollett for an alleged 2019 hoax hate crime, a move that will spare the former “Empire” star a five-month jail sentence, if not clear his name.
Smollett had challenged nearly every aspect of his case, arguing that he should have been done with the case after Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office struck a deal to drop the charges, that the special prosecutor who re-investigated the case and re-indicted him a year later was wrongfully appointed.
Smollett spent six days in jail in 2022, before being released to wait out his appeals. An appeals court last year upheld Smollett’s sentence on five low-level felony counts related to lying to police about an attack he and two accomplices staged near his Streeterville apartment.
