A bank teller was arrested for assaulting a customer. The bank teller called a witness who testified that he saw the customer punch the bank teller first. On cross-examination, the customer's lawyer asked the witness whether he had been convicted of embezzling funds from a previous employer, and the bank teller's lawyer objected.

The court would be most likely to sustain the objection if which of the following is true?

Following his conviction, the witness was sentenced to probation rather than a prison term.
The witness's appeal of his conviction was still pending in state court.
The witness had not been convicted of any crime since he was released from prison 12 years ago.
The witness's embezzlement conviction was for a misdemeanor, not a felony.
