Remember, voting rights are not withheld from felons. Only convicted felons lose the franchise in most states.

Since the point of my contention with you has become whether or not "felon" is commonly used to denote a person merely suspected of committing a crime, show an article from a major news organization referring to a person as a felon without a trial having taken place.

There may be ample evidence that OJ is a killer, but there is no evidence that he is a felon (you would need a guilty verdict). In fact, I have all the evidence I need to prove in about 10 seconds that OJ is NOT a felon - he has never been convicted of a felony.
