An appeals court on Wednesday ordered that Jussie Smollett be released from jail while his conviction appeal is pending.

In a 2-1 decision, the court said that he could be released after posting a personal recognizance bond of $150,000, meaning he doesn’t have to put down money but has agreed to come to court as required.
