You'll have to pardon me if I don't cry a fucking river if a convicted felon doesn't get a right he probably wouldn't use anyway.

I'm not crying a river. The person who killed your friend obviously deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars, at least. But unless you're going to strip away a felon's citizenship and deport him, don't take the vote. Most people convicted of felonies in this country aren't violent criminals. Should anyone who at any time in their lives possessed over an ounce of marijuana be permanently deprived of their right to vote? They committed felonies.
