If you have received a pardon for a crime then you say No. It is best to get a criminal check done and see what shows on it - it will state if you have been pardoned or not - or if it has been "exponged".

How long until a gbh conviction is spent in the UK?
Its the length of sentence that defines when the conviction is spent not the crime. If the sentence was for two and a half years or more it is never spent and always has to be declared. If it was for more than six months but less than two and a half years it is spent after ten years - its different for young offenders - for full details have a look at the related link below.

What do states do with wrongly convicted?
Your term "Wrongly convicted" covers a whole lot of different areas. Each state has its own procedures. At the trial a person is found guilty or not guilty. (In Europe there is also a verdict of Innocent.) There is a possible appeal. After appeal review, and sentencing, the conviction is final. A person is then convicted. After that post conviction relief is possible. If new evidence is discovered that could have been presented in a trial, the prisoner submits a petition to the trial court. (It has a technical name. There are many possible petitions. See a lawyer for your state.) If the judge goofed up, there are motions to the appeal court. (See a lawyer for the technical rules for your state.) If all else fails, your state has a provision for a pardon. The various state legislatures have generally made provision for payment for the time spent in prison for persons wrongfully convicted. (As a result, Judges will sometimes have a person plead guilty to a small crime in exchange for time served!)
Will an employment background check show a careless driving conviction?
It depends on the level of background check, the offence and the disposal (sentence): Basic criminal record check: If the conviction is unspent, it will show up. Convictions can take up to 7 years to spent, it depends on the sentence. Convictions that result in a prison sentence of over 4 years will never be spent. Standard and enhanced DBS check:If the conviction was for causing death or grievous bodily harm by careless/aggravated driving, it will show up forever. If the conviction resulted in a custodial sentence, it will appear show up forever. If you have more than one conviction offence, they will all show forever. If non of the above apply, the conviction will stop showing after 11 years (or 5.5 years if you were under 18 when convicted). Enhanced DBS check: The police can include any information they hold on an individual as long as they believe it is relevant to a recruitment decision, so even if a conviction qualifies to come off a DBS check, the police can still choose to include it. There are various organisations such as NACRO and Unlock who will advise on when a conviction is spent, whether it should show and what you should declare when applying.

How many years must pass before a conviction can be listed as quashed for background checks such as CRB and Police Checks?

It can take up to 7 years for a conviction to become 'spent' and some types of convictions can never be 'spent'.Once a conviction becomes 'protected' it will no longer show on a standard DBS check (CRB checks were replaced by DBS checks in 2012).
