Q: Can myou record be expunged?
Hello. My case is a bit confusing so I am hoping someone can understand and help answer some questions I have.
In November 2005 I was arrested for aggravated stalking and put on probation. I can't remember if it was a misdemeanor or felony but I know I was told I have a PPO against me and let go. Then on December 2005 I was arrested and spend about 90 days in jail and on my court hearing I was let go on time served. On my record it shows they charged me with two felony charges for November and December but at the hearing they had one of the felonies dropped to minor misdemeanor. Does that mean I have one felony and one minor misdemeanor on my record?
Could this be expunged? I asked a lawyer who only looked at my background for less than a minute and told me it shows two felonit's but one was dropped to minor misdemeanor. What does that even mean? Does that mean I have two felonies even though one of them was dropped to minor misdemeanor on the hearing day?
A: It is my understanding that one cannot expunge a conviction for aggravated stalking.
