Special prosecutor criticizes Illinois Supreme Court decision

Abel and Ola aren’t the only people unhappy with the outcome of the Smollett case. The special prosecutor in the case recently issued a scathing rebuke to the Illinois Supreme Court after it ruled to overturn the actor’s conviction on a technicality.

Dan Webb said in a statement released Daily mail that the ruling “has nothing to do with Mr. Smollett’s innocence” and “the legal rationale destroys long-standing Illinois precedent.”

“My office has spent nearly two years gathering evidence and working closely with the Chicago Police Department to prepare this case for trial,” Webb continued in his remarks. “It is very important to note that today’s decision is also not the result of any error or action by the Office of the Special Counsel, the trial court, or the Chicago Police Department.”

He added that Smollett “didn’t even challenge the sufficiency of the evidence against him in his appeal.”

Special prosecutor says court made a mistake in overturning Jussie Smollett’s conviction

Smollett was exonerated after the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that his rights were violated by Webb and his team’s decision to retry him even after the original charges were dropped with an agreement that he would not face new charges .

Webb said in a statement Daily mail that “all of these actions occurred five months prior” to his appointment, and although his actions led to the decision, the court “found no error in the overwhelming evidence presented at trial.”

He went on to explain that the Supreme Court erred in its ruling on the agreement Smollett entered into with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office (CCSAO) in 2019 that he would not face new charges.

“The Illinois Supreme Court made this decision despite the fact that the CCSAO dismissed Smollett’s original case through nolle prosequi, which does not preclude re-prosecution under Illinois law, and Mr. Smollett’s own attorneys advised the public immediately after the dismissal his first case in March 2019 was that there was “no agreement” with CCSAO, he said.

“Today’s decision does not change how deeply proud I am of the work done by my Special Prosecutor’s Office,” Webb concluded. “It also does not undermine the jury’s verdict and, most importantly, does not clear Jussie Smollett’s name – he is not innocent.”
