I told you about my * cases. Am I consider a felon?
Case Rating: *
In Pennsylvania, being considered a felon typically depends on the classification of your charges. You mentioned having a retail theft case classified as an F3 (Felony of the Third Degree), which may categorize you as a felon. However, legal implications can vary, and consulting with a legal professional may provide clarity tailored to your situation.
