I have to admit... I don't have a lot of sympathy for Neal when it comes to prison. He IS a convicted felon after all and did do all the other things he was accused of even if they couldn't prove it. Yes, I get that prison can be hell and all of that but it doesn't make Neal's guilt any less. He did do a crime and does need to be punished for it.
I think it IS necessary for Peter to tell people that Neal is a felon because he is AND he's a con artist - he CANNOT be trusted with some things. And Neal keeps proving it by sneaking into places and doing things he shouldn't be doing. Yes fine usually he does it to help with the case but still, not the right thing.
I was really annoyed with Neal in the pilot when he managed to move into June's house. Peter's rant about how this is how the cons start was exactly what I was thinking. Plus why does he get to move into a nice house like that? The only thing that saved it was that June tells Peter that her husband was a convicted felon too so it's not like she doesn't know what she's getting into.
I'm not sure I'm seeing "hurt" when Peter says something like that... but then I know I don't read other people's emotions well so maybe I'm wrong.
