The claim says Smollett began in 1991 by debuting in The Mighty Ducks (1992), but independent film listings show he was already acting in 1991.

• A Little Piece of Heaven was released as a TV movie on December 2, 1991, and Rotten Tomatoes' cast page lists Jussie Smollett as Salem Bordeaux.
• The Los Angeles Times review of that 1991 broadcast also describes one of the children in the movie as a "street-wise, jive-talking urchin (Jussie Smollett)."
• Disney's official page for The Mighty Ducks gives its release date as October 2, 1992.

So The Mighty Ducks was not his acting debut; it came after his 1991 appearance in A Little Piece of Heaven.

This sentence mischaracterizes the legal basis of the 2024 reversal. The Illinois Supreme Court did not say Smollett had fulfilled a plea agreement. The court's reasoning, as summarized by Illinois legal sources, was that he had completed a nonprosecution agreement with the State.

The Illinois State Bar Association's summary of People v. Smollett says the court found Smollett had entered into a nonprosecution agreement and had fully performed his part of that agreement. It specifically adds that the terms required dismissal of the original indictment in exchange for bond forfeiture and community service, with "no requirement that Smollett plead guilty or admit wrongdoing."

That directly contradicts calling the 2019 arrangement a "plea agreement." A plea agreement involves a plea; the sources here say there was no guilty plea requirement.
