    The voting thing is untrue I believe, you can vote with a felony once out of incarceration. Also if sounds like a jury decided that by your words. So it was again not a singular person.

    So that person will be eligible to vote whether found guilty or innocent by a jury in the 2026 elections. Owning a gun on the other hand, if found guilty, no, I don’t believe they can in Illinois. I guess we’ll find out what the jury decides. Do you know when the case is happening?

    (I agree it is all ridiculous)

      An indightment just means that there is probable cause to charge the person, it’s not a descision on whether they are guilty or not. The process is done in secret, so there is no defence for the person being charged. It’s just a way to issue an arrest warrant. They do it that way in order to prevent people from asking for a “show cause” hearing which would allow them to personally defend against the whole thing. D It’s a dirty trick.
