Q: Law.Justia.com, Cal app.3d, Volume 144 People V. Salazar (1983) "Posted for 37 yrs". 22 yrs ago received California CR,
This is inflammatory information of reports that were not charged, used only as to show MO and admitted without any rebuttal or proper defense. Later overturned. Now, application for "Pardon is pending" at Justice Dept. 37 years with no further criminal charge what so ever. It continuously hurts my family, my job, my neighbors. When can this be officially deleted? Is there a way for me to get this done. It's hurting more than helping anyone after 37 years.
A:
