Original Note:
The conviction was overturned due to the defendant's 5th amendment rights against double jeopardy. The Supreme Court did not find issue with any evidence that a jury found sufficient to convict Smollett, rather that there was a signed non-prosecution agreement in place. https://apnews.com/article/jussie-smollett-conviction-overturned-chicago-91178cf27f6ef0aec8a5eef67a3a6125
