QUESTION
Do I have civil rights after a guilty plea of a felony?
Asked on Feb 07th, 2012 on Criminal Law - Florida
More details to this question:
I was arrested in September 2011 and plead guilty on a felony on October 31, 2011 for the charge. Because it was a felony did I lose my civil rights? I’m trying to find out because I just received a jury duty summons and I’m trying to figure out if that disqualifies me.

Plea, does not matter as much as the final disposition; if you were given a withhold of adjudication then your rights remain intact but if you received a conviction, then your rights to vote, sit on a jury, hold political office and obtain some license have been terminated.
