According to Bill Bailey (who says he is parroting his own criminal lawyer and reflecting his own experience), “He was convicted by a jury but the conviction is not final until all appeals have been exhausted and the judge sentences the defendant. It is the issuance of the Judgment and Commitment after sentencing that establishes the conviction.”

That’s why he was allowed to vote. See here: http://www.slate.com/id/2203348/

Wrong he was convicted. His case has not reached final judgment yet. A legal description of final judgment can be read on the briefs posted at my blog.
