Why people make such a big deal of having a felony conviction, I don't know. There are felons everywhere. George W. Bush was a felon (cocaine possession); he just didn't get caught. The Beatles were felons (LSD possession); they just didn't get caught. In Virginia, pickpocketing $5 from someone, or stealing $200 in merchandise from a store, is grand larceny, a felony.[1] As the Knox v. U.S. case showed, possessing a video of girls in leotards can be considered child pornography, a felony. So, why do employers make such a big deal about whether the person checks a box on an application saying they've been convicted of a felony?
