Jussie Smollett Cleared By Illinois Supreme Court In Overturned Hoax Case Conviction

Jussie Smollett’s name is officially cleared. The Illinois Supreme Court officially overturned Jussie Smollett’s conviction in his hate crime hoax case today, according to TMZ. For those unaware, he received a 150-day jail sentence back in 2022 for staging a hate crime against himself. Since then, Jussie Smollett went through a few different processes of appeal, seeing doors shut in his face before the Illinois Supreme Court heard him out. As such, this new ruling means that he will not have to fulfill his original sentence and cannot face another trial.
