Exactly what it says: If you have ever been convicted of any criminal offense, you would have to answer YES.If you had been convicted of a criminal offense but you were later pardoned you would answer NO.
There is no question asked. But as a general statement - this offense will appear on your adult criminal history record.
No. A "pardon" means that only his sentence has been pardoned. it does NOT mean that his crime or offense is wiped clean. He is still a convicted felon, just as if he had served the full term of his sentence in prison. As a convicted felon he may never own, or be in possession of, firearms.
The ARREST record will still reflect that the arrest was for a felony offense, HOWEVER, if you are asked if you were ever CONVICTED of a felony, you can truthfully answer 'no.'
You don't say what offense your conviction was for. If it was the equivelant of a felony offense, it might cause them to look a little harder at you, but the fact that you were pardoned is certainly in your favor, and unless it was a sex crime, probably will not affect you.
The legal definition of convicted is one whom a court has officially determined is guilty of a criminal offense. That determination is made at the conclusion of a criminal prosecution or after the entry of a plea of guilty.
Criminal justice is the process of bringing an accused person of an offense against the Government before a court to answer those charges, and, if convicted, given the proper punishment for the offense.
If they have been convicted of a criminal offense, they should be, but in today's "politically climate" they are referred to instead as "respondants."
A person is a criminal when they have been convicted of a criminal offense. A criminal offense is one that has penalties that include any period of imprisonment, even if the imprisonment is not imposed as a consequence of the conviction.
To determine if you qualify for the expungement of a STATE offense ONLY see the below link.However, if you were convicted of a federal offense this will NOT apply.
If you were convicted of the offense, yes.
It depends on the type(s) of criminal offenses you have been convicted of in the past, and what offense you are currently being tried for.
If you were arrested, charged, and convicted of that offense it will ALWAYS remain on your criminal record. That is why it is called a criminal HISTORY.
