Q: I had a felony case reduced to misdemeanor in 1992 for marijuana possession
I had a felony case reduced to misdemeanor in 1992 for marijuana possession
The DOJ still lists the felony convictions on my DOJ REPORT
At the bottom it’ says “reduced to misdemeanor”
How do I get the felony convictions removed ? The fbi record show and consider me a convicted felon for marijuana possession Even though it was reduced to a misdemeanor
I sent the DOJ an 801 challenging the record but got an amended report back with felonies intact
The San Diego online court also lists the case in its data base also
