Sorry, forgot to answer your question. McDonnell's conviction was vacated, so it's no longer a thing. Now it goes back to the trial court, where the prosecution can decide whether they want to re-try it or not. If they do, then we start over, just with a more narrow focus thanks to the case. If they don't, that's the end of it, and McDonnell goes free. In the meantime, his wife, who was also convicted of the same thing, had appealed her conviction to the 4th Circuit. That court was waiting to see what SCOTUS did on this one, so it seems likely that they'll send her case back as well.
