2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Defendant relies primarily upon People v. Bray ... but that case is distinguishable. There defendant pleaded guilty in Kansas to being an accessory before the fact and was placed on two years summary probation, which he successfully completed. When he subsequently sought to register to vote, he filled out an explanatory form referring to a Kansas offense, and indicating that he was uncertain whether he had been convicted of a felony. He was permitted to vote. Seeking employment as a security guard, he stated that he had not been convicted of a felony but described the circumstances of his arrest and probation. The Bureau of Correction and Investigative Services registered him as a guard. On several other job applications he indicated his uncertainty as to his status while fully setting forth the circumstances of his arrest and probation. [[Image here]] In the present case, unlike Bray , defendant made no attempt to inform government officials of the circumstances of her conviction or to seek their advice regarding her correct legal status.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Saadiq v. State“The marijuana possession charge resulted from a plea bargain not involving a jail or prison sentence. At the time the bargain was struck, defendant’s attorney advised her that she was pleading guilty to a misdemeanor. Believing that she was not a felon, defendant thereafter had registered to vote, and had voted. On one prior occasion, police officers found a gun in her home but, after determining that it was registered to her husband, the officers filed no charges against defendant.”
