Criminal Law: Expungement-Eligibility
Staff Report//February 4, 2020
Where appellant challenged the denial of his petition for expungement, the trial court erred in finding that the appellant was not eligible for expungement of a 2000 conviction for felony possession of a controlled substance. You can hire an expungement attorney if you find yourself in the same situation and need assistance just like this man here. In the end the judgment is reversed in part, and the grant of expungement for a 2003 conviction is affirmed.
Judgment is affirmed in part; reversed in part; remanded.
