SUMMARY: The Illinois Supreme Court overturned Jussie Smollett’s conviction for staging a 2019 racist and homophobic attack, ruling that he should not have faced charges again after an agreement with prosecutors. The case, which attracted substantial media attention and polarized public opinion, involved Smollett claiming he was assaulted by two men. Initial charges were dropped in exchange for community service and a $10,000 bond forfeiture. The Court’s opinion emphasized the importance of upholding negotiated deals in criminal law. Despite the ruling, the special prosecutor noted it did not affect the jury’s unanimous guilty verdict against Smollett for disorderly conduct.

SUMMARY: Attorneys are urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Mississippi’s Jim Crow-era law that permanently disenfranchises individuals convicted of certain felonies, including nonviolent offenses like forgery. They argue such practices are unconstitutional, reflecting a harsh and outdated approach. Currently, nearly 50,000 people, disproportionately Black, are affected, with few avenues available for restoring voting rights. The recent appeal follows a series of unsuccessful attempts to challenge this law in court, emphasizing the racial biases embedded in the state’s voting rights legislation. The attorneys assert that the Supreme Court should reconsider the constitutional validity of these disenfranchisement laws.

SUMMARY: Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, was found guilty of murdering Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, whose death gained national attention in the immigration debate. Ibarra was convicted on multiple charges, including felony murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault. He faces life imprisonment without parole. Prosecutors argued that Ibarra attacked Riley while she was jogging, leading to her death after she resisted his alleged attempt to rape her. Defense attorneys claimed that evidence did not definitively link Ibarra to the crime, suggesting instead that his brother might be responsible. Ibarra opted for a bench trial and did not testify.
