I see that Jussie Smollett has had his second conviction over his hate
crime hoax overturned:

 I know. BTR1701 will say "I told you so."

Of course this doesn't overturn his FIRST conviction.

 There was no first conviction. There was no trial. It was pretrial
diversion, BTR1701 said I was wrong and that jeopardy attached. The
state supreme court agrees with him and not me.
 

So a pretrial diversion ISN'T a conviction? I thought it counted as a conviction that just had a very mild sentence. So Smollett now has no criminal record at all (assuming he hasn't committed other crimes before or since the hoax)?
