Darren Chaker & Pardon vs. Expungement
An expungement and pardon are two different post conviction reliefs. A pardon is issued by the Governor and is discretionary. For more information related to a pardon, see gov.ca.gov/pdf/interact/how_to_apply_for_a_pardon.pdf
Expungement under Penal Code Section 1203.4 allows for a former conviction to be dismissed, and only under very limited circumstances to come back to haunt the defendant. One of the good things is that private employers need not consider an expunged conviction since it is now dismissed. If you apply for a job which requires a license, then you must disclose the former conviction. Also, an expunged conviction (dismissal) is inadmissible as impeaching evidence. People v. Mackey (App. 2 Dist. 1922) 58 Cal.App. 123, 208 P. 135. "Penalties and disabilities" in Section 1203.4 providing that defendant who fulfills conditions of probation shall thereafter be released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the offense or crime of which he was convicted has reference to criminal penalties and disabilities or to matters of a criminal nature. Copeland v. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (App. 2 Dist. 1966) 50 Cal.Rptr. 452, 241 Cal.App.2d 18 People v. Field (1995) 31 Cal.App.4th 1778 in which expunged felony convictions were held to be inadmissible for purposes of impeaching witnesses. (Id. at p. 1787.)

Can you become a teacher with a felony?
If it was an arrest for a felony and not a conviction, the answer should be yes. An arrest should be meaningless. My father was arrested for a felony. It was a case of mistaken identity. A charge is now supposed to mean nothing. If it was a conviction. The answer is, it depends. Of course if a court overturned it on appeal, you are no longer convicted of a felony even if you served 40 years in prison. Your answer is no. Otherwise, It depends on what was the felony for? How long ago did it happen? What state are you in?
California Penal Code Section 245 Paragraph a Subparagraph 1 is a felony?
It is considered a "wobbler". The district attorney can file either felony or misdemeanor. If a person is sentenced with a felony and does NOT serve State Prison sentence and only county jail time, it is a MISDEMEANOR after the probation time has been served. This is according to 17 (B) 1 of the California Penal Code. If a person is sentenced to prison, then it is charged FELONY with a FELONY conviction. Thank you.
