Now that former President Donald Trump is a convicted felon he could lose some of his individual liberties, possibly including his ability to vote and own firearms.
Thursday afternoon in a New York courthouse, a 12-person jury found Trump guilty of 34 felonies related to falsifying hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels .What happens at that hearing will be critical to what rights Trump will retain and what liberties he may be stripped of.
Blair Bowie, an attorney working with the Campaign Legal Center, told NBC News 'the only way he wouldn’t be able to vote is if he is in prison on Election Day.' And Trump could appeal any decision to send him to prison until after the election, meaning he would not be in prison at the time of his and Biden's presumptive rematch, therefore enabling him to vote.
However an individual's civil rights can be restored 'upon completion of all terms of sentence including parole or probation,' meaning Trump could regain his right to sit on a jury if he wants.
