A person who has committed a felony is a felon, and upon conviction of a felony in a court of law is known as a [B]convicted [B]felon or a [B]convict. In the United States, where the felony/misdemeanor distinction is still widely applied, the federal government defines a felony as a crime punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of one year. If punishable by exactly one year or less, it is classified as a misdemeanor.
