One.  A felony conviction (guilty finding by the court) means prison here.  There is no practice run.  And in some states if you get out of prison and go do it again, you go back to prison for life.\n\nOf course, being found guilty by the court is a different question...

In law, a conviction is the verdict that results when a court of law finds a defendant guilty of a crime.\n\nThe opposite of a conviction is an acquittal (i.e. "not guilty"). \nFor a host of reasons, the criminal justice system is not perfect and sometimes guilty defendants are acquitted while innocent people are convicted. Appeal mechanisms mitigate this problem to some extent. An error that results in the conviction of an innocent person is a miscarriage of justice.\n\nAfter a defendant is convicted, the court determines the appropriate sentence as a punishment. Further, the conviction may lead to results beyond the terms of the sentence itself, such as loss of federal education loans in the case of a drug felony. Such ramifications are known as the collateral consequences of criminal charges. Any punishment, simple or severe, for any crime committed is called convition-.

nothing, our system of law says that a person cannot be tried twice for the same case, double jeopardy or autrefois acquit (French for 'previously acquitted'), so even though he confessed he would have to be charged on another offense. He could be jailed for perjury, a serious offense but not on murder charges.

The crime is escape from lawful custody.  At the time of the escape the custody was due to the conviction, and was lawful.  The offence has been committed.

I believe it seriously depends on the severity of the crime and who/what was involved. Being in good standing order before the crime also helps. It sounds like you're doing something for your community- but helping a bit more couldn't hurt. Perhaps you could speak with a lawyer or a government official.

That depends on what the one prior conviction was for. Assault with and deadly weapon, 245(a)(1) PC, is a potential felony for you. The sentence will really depend on if you caused any injury to the person and, if none, what the potential injury could have been. \n\nYour prior conviction could come into play if it was an assault or other type of violent crime. Ultimately, the judge will decide what you will get. No one here on this board can tell you.

you are mistaken.There are basically two types of criminals.\na felon is anybody who committed and was convicted of a crime with a penalty of more than one year in jail. A misdemeanor is  a crime punishable by less than one year in prison.\nThe determining factor is the exact words of the law that make the act a crime. entering a country illegally is probably punishable by more than one year in jail so it is a felony. a person if NOT a felon until he has been convicted. until then he is just a suspect or defendant. The authorities usually do not try an illegal migrant worker on these felony charges but just send them back home. The sherriff of Maricopa County in Arizona wants to arrest them and try them and put them in jail. This would be as good as a job to most and like a country club vacation to them after living in Mexicao. So better to send them back and let Mexico support them.\n\n Civil trespass is  merely a TORT, not a crime( usually) The typical state law allows a landowner or person entitled to possession, like a tenant, to sue another for the tort of tresspass. it is not punishable by any jail time . The person who is accused and sued and adjudged liable for this tort is called a tortfeasor, not a criminal.  There are no civil crimes per se, but some do cross the line, such as civil harrasment and are sort of a crime and sort of a tort.

A predicate offense is an offense that is necessarily included in charging another offense or establishing a punishment.  For example, under the federal RICO statutes (used to go after mobsters), you can be convicted og engaging in a "continuing criminal enterprise."  But in order to establish this, the government must first prove that there was a criminal act - this is the predicate offense.

THE PERSON MUST BE CHARGED AND LATER CONVICTED OF A CRIME THAT IS AT LEAST A MISDOMETER TO BE CONSIDERED A CRIMINAL. BUT IN MOST CASES THE PHRASE CRIMINAL IS USED BY COPS AND LAWYERS TO DESCRIBE SOMEONE WHO HAS COMMITED SEVERAL CRIMES AND CONVICTED OF EACH. ITS A PRETTY OPEN TERM. UM FOR WORK APS IT USUALLY ASKS IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A FELONY. NOW THAT IS ALSO CONSIDERED AS A CRIMINAL.

As a hiring manager, I want to know about that conviction, exactly why it happened, and why it won't happen again.  Truthfully, a dishonesty offense is about the hardest kind for a company to forgive -- if there is an equal candidate with no convictions, that person will get hired first.  No crime gets expunged automatically -- you have to apply to the court to have it sealed or expunged.

Without a conviction it means nothing you have to be convicted of a crime for it to matter.  A warning is nothing.
