A Soros DA dropped charges, that's what this case was about. Jussie Smollett is innocent as a matter of law, guilty as a matter of fact.

The ruling does not mean that the court is saying Smollett is innocent of the crime; they’re saying that Kim Foxx’s original deal with him should have protected him from being charged a second time. //

The rule in the opinion (text at link at the end of the second block quote in this post) appears to be that, although a unilateral nolle prosqui by the State allows the state to re-bring the charges, that is not the case when the State and defendant (as here) enter a bilateral agreement to nolle pros that by its terms indicates that the parties intend to bring finality to the case. Oh well...
