Records of valid felony convictions are permanent and cannot be expunged except by order of the governor of the state (or the President if a federal felony) or in some circumstances at the appellate level due to a wrongful conviction.

You go get a lawyer or to the public defenders office and ask to have your record expunged. Remember that expunging your record doesn't mean that you are clear of all your crimes it just means that a judge has said that you have satisfied your terms.

You must apply for expungement. If you have applied, at the end of the process you will receive a document saying your conviction has been expunged

How do you get a charge expunged?

Expungement procedures and requirements vary from state to state and you will have to look at your state statutes for the particular procedures to follow in your state, or to even know if you are eligible to have the dismissed charges expunged. In Florida, for example, there are certain arrests that cannot be expunged, even though the charges were ultimately dismissed. When your record is expunged, it is physically destroyed, and the public will no longer have access to it. Although in many states, one copy is retained by the state's central law enforcement agency and there are situations in which you would still have to reveal you've had a record expunged.


DUI in Utah on records for how long?

In ALL states your driving record is FOREVER. It is a complete record of your drivers license history, it never 'goes away.' Well it depends from many variables, but in general your criminal record that is related to your DUI could be expunged. FIrst you will have to find out if you are eligible for expungement. To find out whether you can do this you will need to contact the relevant authorities in Utah.

If you have a crime successfully expunged and taken off your record can an Ohio job application ask if you have had a crime expunged and do you have to answer?

I believe it has to do with the way it is worded on the application. Some ask if you've ever been convicted of a crime, or ever been convicted of a crime involving a child etc, and some will ask only if you've been convicted of a felony. Regarding expungement, any job that requires an FBI check, meaning where you will have to do fingerprinting, it is my understanding that it will show. So you're better off saying you had an expunged record and be able to show documented proof, then someone find out later, which would be an automatic termination and could prevent you from getting work in the future since most applications ask if you've ever been fired. You also don't want to worry everyday that someone will find out. If they do an FBI check and nothing comes up, great. But if it does or they don't catch it right away, it could spell problems for you. Maybe even new charges for falsifying documents depending on what type of job it is. Good luck to you.

Was Les Ames Fortes by Giono been translated into English?

To the best of my knowledge, as of February, 2011, "Les Ames Fortes" has not been translated into English. If it has been, I can find no record of it. Many of Giono's works have appeared in English, and they are very easy to find. But I can find no record of this one.
