LawGAF I need your help. Without going into details this is the problem:
- Person enters contest (multiple stages) with rules stating that contestants are not eligible if they have been "convicted" (no mention of charged) of a felony.
- Person enters contest with a "pending" felony charge against them (death threat).
- Court date is "after" the contest is over. However, his eligibility must be decided immediately (3 days).
- There options are??? IE they could plead guilty (felony charge), fight it and win (no charge), or fight it and lose (felony charge).
- Person wins initial stage and moves on to stage 2/3
- Person is disqualified because of "pending charge"
Does his limbo make him a felon? Does the contest holder have the right to DQ him? What if anything can be done about this.
