No. IMHO, felons have lost their right to vote by committing such grievous acts against society.

I think the loss of voting rights is incentive not to commit the crime in the first place.

Reformed one-time felons, yes ... given a decent interval of time and a citizen's review panel in which the ex-con pleads his or her case.

Sounds like a dual between "gray area thinking" and "black and white" thinking. Good and bad vs. good sometimes and bad sometimes depending on the situation.
