        @neiltyson @_dtl You're only a felon if convicted in a court of law. Public opinion matters not. Pluto is where it belongs. Science ftw.

        @neiltyson @_dtl There's no murderer or felon because planet Pluto isn't dead. Downgrade charge to attempted murder.

        @neiltyson @_dtl @plutokiller But accessory to a felony is still a felony. Hence, you're still a felon!
