Instead of worrying about lying on an application, why not take care of that 15 year old crime by motioning the court to set it aside and cleaning up the past record. If the crime was committed as a juvenile, Arizona law allows for complete expungement under certain circumstances. If the crime was committed as an adult, the felony record may be set aside and therefore no longer is there a conviction on your record.
Honesty in employment applications is always the best policy: Although you may sneak one by in the short run, it will catch up with you. And worse – you have compromised your integrity.
