Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said, "Innocence is no bar to upholding a jury conviction." Seems minor, but it's a big difference from what you quoted.

Can you become a lawyer with a felony?
It varies from state to state. In most states, a felony conviction does not expressly preclude one from becoming an attorney, however, it is a factor taken into consideration during the moral fitness evaluation that precedes the bar exam. So while there might not be a rule that says "no attorney will have a felony conviction" the state can keep you from taking the bar exam if they believe the felony conviction shows that the person attempting to take the bar exam lacks the moral fitness required to become a lawyer. It is reviewed on a case-by-case basis and any denial to sit for the bar can be addressed by an appeal. So, the short answer is, yes, someone with a felony conviction can indeed... theoretically, become an attorney. The likelihood of it happening is yet another story.
