re: Are any of you a felon or have close family that’s one?

If we want to include close friends/former friends, I have two serious felons there.
One was a home invasion, kidnapping, and armed robbery (x2) because there were two victims in the home. He got 70+ years. Another was for armed robbery of a pharmacy, felony eluding, and attempted murder on a police officer. After wrecking and shooting at police, he was shot in the leg and nearly died. Not sure how long he got, but he was in his 40s when he did all of that, so he may die in prison.
The worst part is, both of these guys were fairly decent people prior to becoming criminal idiots. The first one was young and had no priors when he did the home invasion.
