Popular American actor, Jussie Smollett is trying to get his conviction for faking an attack overturned again by claiming he should never have been prosecuted in the first place. Jussie is arguing he shouldn’t have been charged with felony disorderly conduct in December 2021 because prosecutors made a deal to dismiss the first indictment.
According to reports, Smollett’s attorneys filed legal documents with the Illinois Supreme Court detailing the deal, which involved him doing community service and forfeiting his bond in return for charges being dropped.
The actor is taking his appeal to the state’s highest court after it was previously denied by the Appellate Court of Cook County.
