Jussie Smollett's conviction in hoax attack overturned by state supreme court
The Illinois Supreme Court has thrown out former "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett’s conviction for lying about a 2019 hate crime.
Smollett was found guilty in 2021 for faking a racist and homophobic attack and lying to the police. His lawyers said this violated his Fifth Amendment rights because, in 2019, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx had already agreed to drop the charges if Smollett paid $10,000 and did community service. A special prosecutor later charged him again, leading to his trial and conviction.In its decision, filed on Thursday, the court stated they are resolving a "question about the State’s responsibility to honor the agreements it makes with defendants."The court stated it did not find that the state could bring a second prosecution against Smollett after the initial charges were dismissed as part of an agreement and the actor performed the terms of the agreement, noting that Illinois case law establishes that it is "fundamentally unfair to allow the prosecution to renege on a deal with a defendant when the defendant has relied on the agreement to his detriment."
"We are aware that this case has generated significant public interest and that many people were dissatisfied with the resolution of the original case and believed it to be unjust. Nevertheless, what would be more unjust than the resolution of any one criminal case would be a holding from this court that the State was not bound to honor agreements upon which people have detrimentally relied," it said.Among the cases cited in the court's decision is Bill Cosby's, whose conviction on sexual assault charges was overturned in 2021 by Pennsylvania's highest court.

I saw meconium which is when an infant in utero and if it gets in the baby’s lungs it can be a bad situation.
You don’t give them a second to adjust do you. It’s straight in with the rough handling . The baby cried as soon as you dug ur fingers into its back. Why the sucking hose into nose and mouth I don’t know . So how did babies ever survive in the days when nothing like this even existed. You bring trauma and distress to these new borns , you need to back off and let nature have a go at what she knows best how to do . If I heard my baby crying like that , I’d be off the table and on you . Unnecessary handling goes on too much !
БОЖЕЕ КАКАЯ ПОЕЛЕСТЬ ЖИТЬ ХОЧЕТСЯ❤

So sad. I’m glad I’m mellowing with age.
The video is on “fast forward” mode. Listen to the conversation on the background of the medical staff. That could be the reason why the baby’s cry sounds different from the baby’s normal cry at birth.
