Hello,
I was hoping someone could help explain SB 731 to me. It appears if you are clean from any crime for 4 years after you're through with parole then violent offenders can petition a judge to seal the record. It seems one source said this applies to crimes committed after the beginning of 2021 and another said crimes after 2005. Also, if you petition a judge does that mean he will automatically seal it or is it up to his discretion?
I have a criminal record which is Assault with Deadly Weapon and G.B.I. I served 3 years in County jail and 3 years in prison; the amount of 6 years all together. I read online some say that I am eligible for expungement, and some says i am not. how accurate is the source? can you tell me if i am eligible for expungment. looking forward to hear from you soon. thank you and God bless you.
