Is adjudicated guilty the same as a conviction for a job application.?
WESTERL
Please understand that this is not legal advice. That said, the answer to this question depends on what state you're in. In some states, like Kentucky, an adjudication is equal to a conviction. In other states, like Michigan and Virginia, which make "adjudication" and "conviction" legally different things (like for instance, a juvenile adjudication versus adult conviction) an adjudication is NOT a conviction. Federal law concurs. In a case where two men with juvenile records were arrested as "felons in possession" of firearms, US District courts rules that in states that make the distinction, a person adjudicated of a crime is NOT prohibited from possessing a firearm since they have not be convicted.

Do you qualify for section 8 housing if you were previously arrested?
Depends on what you were convicted of incidental to the arrest (an arrest is not the same as a conviction, in which case you would have pled guilty or no contest, or been found guilty, in a court of law).
Is a criminal record the same thing as the criminal complaint?
No, a criminal record is not the same thing as a criminal complaint. A complaint is an accusation, which may or may not result in a conviction. Only a conviction of a crime will result in a criminal record. If someone has complained about you, that does not in itself make you guilty of a crime.

Is it possible to have a felony charge removed from your record in the state of South Carolina?
This depends on several factors, including the severity of the crime, and, most importantly, whether you were adjudicated guilty. If the latter is true you can apply --only once in your life-- to have that record sealed or expunged. In some states you may have to wait at least ten years for this to happen. If you have been adjudicated guilty then you have to apply for a full pardon from the Governor. This doesn't remove your record but it officially declares you "no longer a convicted felon," and give you the same rights afforded to you before you were convicted.

How many jury can make you not guilty?
Unless there is a mistrial or a new trial is ordered after a conviction is appealed, there is only one trial per defendant per set of charges. An acquittal (finding of "not guilty") cannot be appealed. This is the same whether the trial is heard by a judge (a bench trial) or a jury.
Is a plea bargain a conviction?
You can plead guilty but it is up to the judge/jury to convict you. Just because you plead guilty does not mean you are convicted. A guilty plea quite simply means the person is admitting to the crime that was committed. Therefore, there is no trial, no jury the judge will impose sentence based upon the circumstances of the case in question and the person's prior criminal history (if any). Interestingly, in certain states (such as Florida) a plea of nolo contendere by most licensed healthcare professionals to a "crime related to the practice ... or the ability to practice" their profession constitutes a conviction for purposes of licensure discipline in an administrative proceeding by the regulatory board. See Chapter 456, Florida Statutes.
