I would ratchet the whole thing back. As soon as you have committed a crime you're a criminal. Whether you have been caught/convicted/punished by the state is immaterial. That's just adding official recognition post facto.

It's like being HIV positive. As soon as you have the virus, that's your status. The test only confirms it.
