Oh Donnie, you're just embarrassing yourself.  We have the facts  --  the man pled guilty to a misdemeanor, and the court accepted it.

But you want to turn a documented misdemeanor into a felony because you don't like the length of his probation?  And you want us to consider the man a felon until he somehow disproves your fantasy?   

Seems to me like we've already been given all the facts  --  right down to the exact court costs.  You just don't like them.
