A: You say you have 25 deferred. Do you mean suspended? It looks like from the title of your question (by your use of 10/25) that you received maybe a 25-year sentence with the first 10 years to serve for trafficking marijuana, and you were paroled at some point while serving the 10 years, is that correct? If that is the case, your sentence will not be complete until the 25th anniversary of the date of your sentencing (if you were sentenced 10 years ago, your sentence will remain active - even if you are not supervised - for another 15 years. The Pardon and Parole Board will not consider commutations for people not in custody and you likely do not qualify for any type of sentence modification. Drawing conclusions based on some of the statements you make in your question, it does not appear that you qualify for an expungement at this time.
