 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)?

I guess we're going to have to settle for him having to live his name being
synonymous with lying race hoaxes. When people are falsely accused by the
wokesters of being racist, they respond, "I was Smolletted!"
