Dear Friend,\n\nSurpisingly, he may be able to get these sealed or expunged. I imagine it'd be best to go to a criminal defense lawyer to help.\n\nSee http://www.lac.org\n\nCan criminal conviction records be sealed (including expunged, erased, or purged)? \nYes, most misdemeanor and felony convictions can be expunged provided the individual has a limited criminal history, has no cases pending, and the following time periods have elapsed following completion of sentence: 15 years for multiple class B and C misdemeanors, 10 years for an alcohol- or drug-related traffic offense, 7 years for a felony and 3-5 years for a misdemeanor. Utah Code Ann. § 77-18-12. The following convictions may not be expunged: capital felony, first degree felony, second degree forcible felony, any sexual act against a minor, any registerable sex offenses, and attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy to commit these offenses. Utah Code Ann. § 77-18-12(1). \n\nUnless adjudicated for murder or aggravated murder, juvenile records may be sealed upon age 18 and one year has elapsed since termination of juvenile court jurisdiction or after one year has elapsed from unconditional release if committed to the Division of Youth Corrections. During the one year waiting period the individual must not have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor of moral turpitude and have no pending criminal proceedings. Utah Code Ann. § 78-3a-905(1), (2), and (5). \n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

Violence isn't the  answer, changing the system is.  You need to include the physical address, email address, or the fax# for the Board of Pardons and Parole, for the Utah Prison System.\n\n  That is where You would like People to voice Their outrage.  So that when People read this story, GOD Bless those who take the time, can write and send Their objections to the  possibility of this Person being paroled after such a short period of time.  That is what You are wanting, You are asking for support, in wanting this Person to pay a higher price, for what He has done.  For the devastation, He has committed. \n\nJustice for Darius, (Buddha). \n\nAlso, there are already laws on the books, for harm caused by a Motor Vehicle, serious harm/and or Death.  Most People are probably not aware of what the Laws are until it happens to them.  It used to be that if a Person were to be killed by an Motor Vehicle, it  was only considered to be an Accident.  Now there are laws in place that Better protect the Public.  That is another area that You would like to see changed.  For that, You would have to have People write the Governor, Lt. Governor, Congressmen, and Senators, of Your State, so it would be helpful for You to include those addresses.\n\n(The addresses have now been included on Love's 360 page.)\n\nI call on Everyone that has Love in Thier Heart, and the Blessing of a Child, to read this story, reach out, and help.\n\nGod Bless the Smith Family, God Bless You Mom, You Have Been the Heart, the Strength, and the Rock of this Family, and Their Recovery,  You too Dad.\n\nHere is how You can help, Write to the address below and voice Your outrage.

The injury that was caused by an enraged, drunken, angry, and violent Person.  Who has currently served only 15 months, and could be up for Parole in 2007.\n\nHow much is the life of a Child worth, how much time would Someone need to Serve, for, God forbid,  a Child you know?\n\nHelp get Justice for Buddah (his nickname), Darius\nWrite to, and voice Your disapproval to;\n\nUtah Board of Pardons\n448 East 6400 South Suite 300\nMurray, Utah 84114\n\nAnd You can send a letter to;\n\nGovenor, or Lt.

no\n\nJuvenile records are sealed and can only be opened by the government or with a court order.\n\nI think some states expunge and others don't but I do know you can hire an attorney to have any criminal record 'considered' for expunging.

Expunged: Go to a Lawyer and ask him if you qualify. Some offences you can not have it done.

definitely clean your record first.  anything in warrant status will hurt you.. cuz... you can't be criminal and law enforcement simultaneously.  College, not necessarily. Junior college should be enough. And don't smoke anything (u know)....

Only an order from the court can expunge a record.  The problem today is that there is still a paper trail, police records and so forth that will remain anyway.  Sometimes it is simply better to move on and leave the past in the past.

see a lawyer and see whether your committed crime(s) qualify u for expungement.  Certain types are not expungeable.

Say not guilty and explain the situation.  If that does not work, work on a plea deal that will get it expunge after 6 month or a year of not getting into trouble.  Yes get a lawyer

Local gov., criminal records are public records. Contact the appropriate court.

PUBLIC RECORDS is the key to your answer.\n\nHow much do they charge for records you can get for free, anyway?\n\n\nYou will not be doing anything illegal, however you may be spening money unwisely.  What will you do when they take your money adn send you a report that says they found nothing?

Hire a lawyer.\n\nIf your only issue is having your record expunged, you might contact the court that has jurisdiction and talk to the court clerk or district attorney's clerk.\n\nThey cannot give you legal advice, but they may help point you in the right direction.\n\nA petition is little more than a letter to the court making a request. But it must meet the requirements set by statute & the court regarding content.\n\nYou really should talk to a lawyer before you proceed since rules vary not only by state, but by court.

Consult an attorney as it depend on state / federal law and the convictions.  There are different approaches, including sealing the record and/or expungement / vacation.  An attorney will explain how the local/relevant law on these approaches apply to your specific convictions.  Your local bar association will be able to refer you to a qualified attorney.

I would think anything is possible. Wouldn't it be in your case file? Have you had the record expunged? If not, you should be able to get it from the courts. BTW...just wondering, did you like that pic or something? I'm not picking on you, it just seems weird that someone would want to have their mugshot!

It takes a lot of paperwork and writing to get chaeges expunged usually criminal charges are the ones worth pursuing to clear your record as opposed to misdemeanor charges if you are applying for a job usually the only interest is a crininal background check and you have to write to the governor in order to get a pardon

The easiest way would be to order a title search. The title report would disclose any liens against the property, who the current owner of record is, easements, mineral claims, etc.
