it depends on the crime being committed. Domestic violance includes battery rape, and even murder.
Yes, but it may depend on the status of the case.
First offenses ONLY may be expunged, but not until the passage of FIVE years from the date of conviction. Second and subsequent offenses - no.
Only if you or your attorney can work out a plea deal with the prosecutor's office.
An assault committed upon your 'significant other' is Domestic Violence. The likliehood of that being dropped is slim to none.
Depends on the misdemeanor. If it involves domestic violence, then you cannot possess a firearm anywhere in the US.
If it was only a CIVIL COURT restraining order, it will not appear on your criminal record. HOWEVER, if there was any criminal action associated with it, or which was the cause for it being issued, (e.g.: domestic battery), THAT is a criminal matter and it WILL appear on your criminal record.
In most cases a domestic violence charge does not require the consent or approval of any person involved. The charge is laid and prosecuted by the prosecuting attorney. In many states a police officer called to a domestic disturbance is required to make an arrest.
Whether or not the person can legally own a firearm depends upon what is required by the state in which the person resides. In regards to the felony charge only the conviction of a felony would be applicable unless the person has a prior criminal history of domestic violence or some other pertinent matter.
Assuming that you mean the charges were originally taken by the victim and dropped by or at the request of the victim, Then if the state (in GA at least) motions to prosecute (typically domestics) on behalf of the state, then the charges stand and the victim takes on the role of victim/witness in stead of victim/complainant. The state can continue to pursue domestic violence charges and prosecution in domestic situations now due to laws adopted after years of battered spouses dropping charges against their abusers because of fear and misguided loyalty.
Sure if he decides to.
Warrants do not appear on your criminal record, only your arrests and actual criminal charges.
No, it is still a felony. People must go to jail to pay for it this guy/ girl is an idiot. i was conficted of a felony domestic violence charge and it was later dismissed and dropped. i went through a year and a half of probation (suppossed to be three years, but i got off early due to "good behavior". its not hard, it just takes time.
Yes, they will be tougher on him this time and, yes, they will examine his entire record.
If you were charged with a felony assault and the charges were dropped, you do not have a criminal record. The charges can be picked up by the state at a later date.
