I'm not sure, It was not a felony but my misdemeanor convictions were expunged by the prosecuting attorney.
Added; I would be cautious in relying on the information contained in the first answer, the contributor may be mistaken. In the US the order of a prosecutor, in and of itself, is NOT sufficient to expunge a record, in the accepted meaning of the word expunged. Depending upon the state in question it is customarily an official much higher in the government hierarchy who has that authority and a formal legal petition/action for expungement must initiated.
Technically no one because its erased. But any government agency can get access to your records.
Added: The records themselves never cease to exist, they are never erased. The following can gain access to them for legitimate purposes: Law enforcement agencies - the courts - any government agency conducting pre-employment screening - government and private contractors conducting background investigationss for high level security-clearance positions.
Yes, in Texas there are procedures by which you may have a criminal record expunged providing that certain criteria are met. See below link:
Call the criminal court where you were convicted and ask the clerk's office.Added: See the below website:
Law enforcement - the court system - government agencies - and any employer needing to process you for a security clearance, may have access to your expunged criminal history. All the rest of the general public will not be able to see it.
If your records were officially expunged it means that members of the general public cannot view your past criminal history.HOWEVER - the following organizations still have access to your record: all government agencies - the court system - law enforcement agencies - and organizations doing background investigations for government security clearances.
In Georgia an arrest that never resulted in a conviction can be expunged, if the charges were dropped for good reason and not just a legal technicality.If an arrest record is expunged, that means only government agents and officials will be able to see it, but when they see it's "expunged" they should know not to hold it against you in any way. Other levels of criminal history checks done for non-government reasons (like a pre-employment check) will not show any record at all, with no indication that an arrest took place but was later expunged.Added: The short answer is NO, it simply becomes "invisible" to members of the general public.Add'l: Expunged criminal records WILL count against you if you are the subject of background check for a national security clearance.
Yes it is, I recently had a felony expunged and it doesn't show up on my criminal history. But, only certain felonies will fall under these guideline's and you might have to go through a long process to remove it.

It is difficult to define the questioner's use the term "exonerated." but you can refer to the expungement laws of your state and see if you qualify.
Well, let's clarify what it means to expunge a case: it means to DELETE it COMPLETELY. This means essentially THERE IS NO RECORD!! So to have a record EXPUNGED means to have it DELETED. When you have a felony record expunged it's as if it never occurred. Therefore the public cannot see the record, nor can police. And you then have the legal right to say you don't have a record (at least not that one: if you do not have any other record you have NO record). Therefore to answer your question, YES, you can work as an anesthesiologist with an expunged record.
Yes, it is possible. See the below link:
Yes, see below link:
All states have some kind of expungement law. However all are different from one another. You must research the law for your state to see (1) if that particular charge can be expunged, and (2) if you are eligible to have it expunged. Your best bet is to contact an attorney to assist you. Getting a criminal charge expunged is not a do-it-yourself project.
