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.

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.

This Monday, sources revealed that officials with the Dallas County Constable’s Association ask deputies not to fight criminal activity in the city.

Texas deputy constables are licensed peace officers.  They are trained in how to address criminal activity and are certified to carry weapons.

However, after an incident involving a mother repeatedly asking a deputy to help her find her two kidnapped sons and him refusing, it was revealed that Precinct 1 has a “no-chase” policy.

President of the Dallas County Constable’s Association Renee Christian stated, “Those officers have been told — and I don’t know by which administrators — that if you see some criminal activity, turn your head.  Handle your civil process.”

The Dallas County Constable’s Association met yesterday to address policies for deputies in the county.

The lawyer for an Iowa doctor is defending the physician against charges related to failure to register as a sex offender in the Iowa Sex Offender Registry.

The 31-year old doctor was convicted of  fifth-degree non-consensual sexual contact with an underage girl in 2002.  At the time, the doctor was working as a resident at the Mercy Medical Center- North Iowa.  The doctor later had the conviction expunged and the charges removed from his record.

After moving out of the state and then returning in July, the doctor was charged with failure to register as a sex offender.  According to the doctor’s lawyer, registering as a sex offender would defeat the purpose of the man’s expungement.
