Can a felony charge in Georgia be dropped?

Answer 1

You can apply for and receive a pardon for a crime if you can meet the requirements, a pardon means the crime file is sealed and removed from you record.

Depending on the nature of the charge, federal or state in nature, and severity of the felony you can get a felony Expunged. Due to the legal complexities though from state to state and the nature of the felony you would need to talk to an attourney with specific details.

I have seen a specific example that a felony weapon's charge was discharged\expunged from a co-worker after 10 years. It was apparently granted by a judge after he and his attourney put in a motion to have it discharged due to difficulty in finding employment (I am not a lawyer so I do not understand the jargon.)

Answer 2

Yes, the charges will state that you were charged with said charges and under disposition it will show that the charges were dismissed. But it will not say the exact reason for dismissal. One could, as is often the case, Assume they were dropped for Lack of Evidence, not that you were .released because you proved that you didnt commit said crime.

Answer 3

Yes. The prosecuting attorney (usually the DA's office) can decide to drop a criminal prosecution for a number of reasons.

However, they generally don't dismiss it simply because you have a clean record, especially felony offenses. There usually must be a much better reason.

Answer 4

A person can receive a pardon from the Governor and his right will be reinstated. But a police check will always show the arrest and conviction.

Answer 5

More information is needed. "Dropped" how? By who? The judge or the prosecutor? Was it Nolle Prossed or was it dismissed? If it was dismissed, was it WITH prejudice or WITHOUT prejudice?

Answer 6

Depends on the states laws of expungement.

Answer 7

It's possible.
