In it's ruling the Illinois Supreme Court said, "Today we resolve a question about the State's responsibility to honor the agreements it makes with defendants." In its decision the court said, simply, "the State is bound by the agreement."
Jussie attorney, Nenye Uche tells TMZ, "This was not a prosecution based on facts, rather it was a vindictive persecution and such a proceeding has no place in our criminal justice system. Ultimately, we are pleased that the rule of the law was the big winner today."
It's worth noting the Supreme Court did not weigh in on the merits of the actual case against Jussie ... and, instead, only focused on the deal prosecutors struck with him.
This case goes all the way back to January 2019, when Jussie initially claimed he's been the victim of a hate crime -- 2 men shouted "This is MAGA country" and "Aren't you that fa***t n***a from 'Empire'" ... as they put a rope around his neck and threw a liquid on him, which he believed to be bleach.
Those 2 men turned out to be brothers, Abimbola and Ola Osundairo, who were friends with Jussie. They told police Jussie had paid them to stage the whole attack.
The reversal of Jussie's conviction is reminiscent of Bill Cosby's case. Remember, he was actually doing time in prison when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court reversed his conviction, citing a deal prosecutors had struck to not prosecute him in exchange for him sitting for a deposition in Andrea Constand case.
