Can an acquittal be expunged from a rap sheet?

No, it will show up as an arrest and maybe show the outcome. But an arrest is forever.

I guess only if it's proven beyond a reasonable doubt that you did not commit the crime.  The only other way I know that felonies are removed from one's criminal record is if the offense in question occurred when the actor was a juvenile.  Other than that, it is on the record permanently.

Yes, but you need to go to the court system that the felony is recorded under and plead your case as to why it should be expunged. It is very difficult to do and most people that try, fail.

It will show he was arrested.  Contact a lawyer about getting it expunged.

There is no way of making that call with our hearing all of the evidence.  It is up to the jury to determine if the evidence was enough to convict.  Generally you do not base this decision on just one piece of evidence, but a combination of everything presented by both sides.  If you feel that the prosecution did not prove their case, then you need to acquit, as everyone is to be considered Innocent until PROOVEN guilty.  I hope that if I am ever falsly accused, I have an intelligent jury deciding my case.

It depends on the crime and the state (jurisdiction).  The purpose of expungement is to give those who have made a one-time mistake a chance to have an unblemished criminal history. In CA, you file a 1203.4 Petition to have your guilty plea/conviction dismissed. It will be granted under certain conditions (you have completed probation, you have no new charges, not on probation for a new crime, etc.)  It's generally routine and easy if you meet the criterias.  However, it does not wipe your criminal history. It will still show an arrest but that it was 'dismissed.'

Contact the court.  If you completed the program and got a good evaluation the DUI is supposed to go away as I understand it.  If you do nothing it should be there for all to see.  You can pay an attorney a small fee and have him make the contact and file a brief requesting dismissal of the "conviction."   You cannot move the matter to GA.  \n   Question:  Why in the world did you not complete and wrap up this important matter?

Expunged means it is taken off your records.  You do not have to say you have the misdemeanor behind you.  If the employer looks up history, they won't see the misdemeanor - expunged means gone.

As a hiring manager, I want to know about that conviction, exactly why it happened, and why it won't happen again.  Truthfully, a dishonesty offense is about the hardest kind for a company to forgive -- if there is an equal candidate with no convictions, that person will get hired first.  No crime gets expunged automatically -- you have to apply to the court to have it sealed or expunged.

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

The term "expungement" is somewhat of a misnomer and you must be careful to check out the law governing expungment in your state.  An expungment basically means that your conviction is set aside, you enter a new plea of not guilty and the case is dismissed.  The court's file is public record and anybody can still look up the case.\n\nIn California, the defendant is still required to disclose the conviction in response to any direct question contained in any questionnaire or application for public office or for licensure by any state or local agency, or for contracting\nwith the California State Lottery.  So if you apply for a contractor's license in California, you still have to disclose the conviction despite the expungement.\n\nYour state may have different limitations on the effectiveness of an expungement.

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.

You need to contact the courts to have the record expunged. I think you will need to have a lawyer file it for you, and go from there. The lawyer will file, and once it is expunged, it will not show up on your permanent record.\n\nBTW, there are a couple offenses that can't be expunged from your record. One is any type of sex offense, and the other would be murder.

expunging a record is for someone who only has done ONE THING WRONG in a 7 year window. if you have 2 misdemeanors or 1 misdemeanor and 1 felony your stuck.

Every question like this will depend on the state.  In California there are measures that can be taken for some misdemeanors to be expunged but only one that would affect their registration requirements.  (in other words, expungement does not mean it REALLY goes away, the courts and Law Enforcement still get to use it, it is just no longer a PUBLIC issue for employment etc.).\nMost other states have similar procedures, and some do not allow ANY expungement.\nAll depends upon the state, the crime and often times the punishment imposed.\n\n** And there are some in CA who can keep their names off the internet under certain circumstances.**

You have to file for an expungement--normally one year after your sentence is completed...be sure you or your attorney file for an expungement of the record and the arrest with all appropriate agencies in your state...you have to have a clean record from the date of the offense to the time of filing.
