What a garbage episode! So we should stop using the word "felon" because it has different post-conviction ramifications depending on how rich, powerful and/or connected you are?! *News Flash!*: those ramifications have existed since time immemorial! A CORI doesn't care about about semantics. If anything, by changing the semantics, it sends a message that White Collar Crime is somehow a "less than" as far as adjudication, only bolstering White Privilege under the premise of "what's the big deal?"
