Jussie Smollett<\/strong><\/a> doesn’t understand the law, and he’s barking up the wrong tree with the Illinois Supreme Court … at least that’s how the special prosecutor views the actor’s appeal.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Special prosecutor Dan Webb<\/strong> — who convicted Jussie for lying to cops about the hate crime hoax<\/strong><\/a> — is responding to Jussie’s motion to have the IL Supreme Court review his case and overturn the conviction … and says JS’s claim he had an agreement<\/strong><\/a> in place to avoid prosecution simply doesn’t hold water.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

As we reported, Jussie claims he struck a deal with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office — he would do volunteer community service and forfeit his bond, and in return, prosecutors would drop the charges.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

However, Webb says that “agreement” was “imaginary” on Smollett’s part, and it did not insulate him from facing charges at a later date. Webb also shoots down Jussie’s claim he’s a victim of double jeopardy — pointing out the legal term doesn’t apply in this case.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

In docs, obtained by TMZ, the special prosecutor says protection from double jeopardy is “triggered only after the accused has been subjected to the hazards of trial and possible conviction.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
