Does having a violent felony prevent me from getting into graduate school or being hired by an academic institution?

So I'm currently an undergrad at my local community college and I've been accepted in all my universities of choice but, I'm worried that my criminal record (a violent felony), will prevent me from getting into grad school. Perhaps I'm being a bit facetious I believe it shouldn't be an issue (or could be? Correct me if I'm wrong),  but rather I'm worried that I will find it exceedingly difficult to be taken on as a TA or RA, and from there post-doc et. Also it should be noted that the schools I've applied to are state schools. Will I be looking at any serious roadblocks due to my record?

Edit: Thanks for all the input peeps, I am in fact reading these haha.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news: A family friend was in a similar situation. He had a violent felony, got out of jail, got a BA from a great school. He applied to, went on recruitment visits, got accepted, and got funded to attend 4 fantastic grad schools. Only then, did the Grad Colleges run the background checks and decline admission. His recruiting professors were as shocked as he was. He's trying again next year applying only to private schools. Might be the only way to make it work.
