Yes the governor can pardon any crime committed in the state where they govern. But DWIs usually aren't pardoned.
Unfortunately, for the rest of your life--unless you are granted a pardon by the governor or the felony is expungable.
Receive a pardon from the Governor. Generally speaking, a pardon gets a person out of jail, or relieves the person from other punishment, but it does not remove the felony from the persons record.
You can never get a felony off your record normally. But you can get a pardon, which doesn't erase the record but by law entitiles you to be treated as if you didn't have one. You would apply to the Governor's Office or an agency created especially for that purpose.
It is almost impossible to get a felony off your record. The only way to get a felony conviction off your record is to get a pardon.
Having your record expunged or obtaining a pardon is the only way to officially remove a felony from your record. Otherwise, the felony will be on your record permanently.
No help at all really. A pardon generally only means that you are forgiven by the Governor for whatever offense you committed. The record of the crime will still exist on your record, as will the record of the pardon.
You won't get pardoned if you're not serving time. A pardon does not make your record go away; it means the governor "forgives" you for your crime, and determines that there's no need for you to remain incarcerated. You will still have a record.
expungment
Depending on the circumstances of the case it may be possible to have a domestic violence misdemeanor expunged from your record. In California a domestic violence allegation can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor.
Not usually. Normally, a pardon is just a pardon from prison, but the charge is still on your record.
Unless expungement (removal) of the charges was part of the original plea agreement, it is unlikely that the charge can be removed from your record. Even a pardon from the governor will not remove the charge from your record.
It is very difficult to get any felony removed from your record or expunged if you were convicted. It would usually take a pardon.
