High School founder wants criminal record expunged

One of the founders of Charter Tech High School for the Performing Arts in Somers Point, New Jersey is seeking expungement of his criminal record in order to return to the board of trustees for the school.

The 60-year-old founder was arrested in 1974 for smoking marijuana. He thought that his record was expunged many years ago, but apparently he was mistaken.  A law requiring all board of trustees members to undergo background checks turned up the 1974 arrest.

The man voluntarily stepped down from his position and is hopeful that once his record is expunged he can return to the board. He will attend his expungement hearing this month in order to move forward with the removal of the charge.

Non-disclosure agreement halts harassment victim from talking

Herman Cain has been in the news quite frequently as of late, but not for his presidential campaign. Sexual harassment charges against the Republican have been brought to light by several supposed victims.

One woman who is claiming that Herman Cain sexually harassed her wants to tell the public her story but can’t due to a non-disclosure agreement that she signed after a settlement with the National Restaurant Association. Cain used to be an employee of the National Restaurant Association and the woman is pleading with the company to release her from the agreement so that she can shed light on her story.

Cain initially denied knowing anything concerning the allegations and has since begun to reveal small pieces of information regarding the topic. He still completely maintains his innocence and plans to continue with his campaign as scheduled.

By receiving deferred adjudication for a crime, a criminal record has the potential for non-disclosure.

Woman’s record expunged after being falsely accused of murder

A 29-year-old York City woman was charged with first-degree murder over 11 years ago. The case against  her was eventually dismissed, but the public records of her charges still existed. The woman has finally taken the necessary steps in order to expunge her record of the criminal charges.

The murder happened at a cross street that the woman happened to be driving by when she stopped to comfort the dying victim. She was named in the murder by an inmate who was looking for a way out of his own sentence. The woman spent nine months in jail facing death row before the court realized the statements didn’t match any evidence for the case.

Having a public record of these charges made it nearly impossible to find work. Now that her record has been completely expunged, she is hopeful that she can begin her life again.

The 29-year-old mother doesn’t regret stopping to help the man because she believes it was the right thing to do at the  time.

NFL player has dilemma with law again

Green Bay Packers player Johnny Jolly has had another run in with the law. The Defensive End was arrested outside of Houston for possession of drug charges and tampering with evidence.

This arrest comes as no surprise seeing as how it is Jolly’s third drug-related arrest in the past three years. The NFL suspended Jolly for an indefinite period in 2010 when his first possession arrest was up for a trial.

The Defensive End had a chance to get his former conviction expunged if he stayed out of trouble during his five-year probation under “deferred adjudication.” Jolly chose not to listen to his initial sentencing and is now facing serious jail time for his recent convictions.

Expunction in Texas explained

Some employers and other agencies can be wary of individuals with criminal records.  To combat this, Texans who have been charged or convicted of certain crimes can have charges removed from their record through expungement.

Expungement, or expunction, allows Texans to file a petition to have criminal charges removed from their record.  Chapter 55 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure says that individuals who were found not guilty but have the arrest on their record, individuals with dropped charges, and individuals with an overturned conviction can file for expunction.

Texans with Class C misdemeanors and who have been ordered to complete deferred adjudication can also have charges expunged if all requirements of the probation were completed correctly.
