    Why? They seemed pretty clear to me. If your offense could potentially have gotten you imprisoned for more than a year, then you're going to be denied.
    Because woulda, coulda, shoulda is a very poor basis for a law. It should be what was the actual sentence. Then we would not have all this uncertainty, varying advise from even attorneys…

    IANAL but I believe that isnt quite correct. Simply being convicted of a felony with a year or longer sentence is enough as I recall. You dont have to set foot in an actual prison.

    If I were convicted of felonious mattress tag removal and the penalty is 1-5 years, but the judge sentenced me to a year of probation instead, I would no longer be a proper person.
    Its not just a felony its misdemeanors as well. But im fairly sure your right as for as being convicted.

    This poster has not been to the forum since January and the original post is from 7 years ago…
    Not sure if you cared enough to check but im fairly new to this site and online forums as a whole. And also not sure why that matters if im still giving insight into a legitimate question.
