According to the state guidelines as of 2011 Domestic Battery qualifies for expungement only if you received a not guilty or court supervision with successful completion and no other incidents of any kind. Court supervision completed successfully is NOT a conviction and is why it "qualifies". Oddly enough it does not qualify to be sealed...
Conditional discharge does not qualify. And while supervision is listed as qualifying I would imagine it a difficult task in getting it "Approved"
