Is adjudicated guilty the same as a conviction for a job application.?
Please understand that this is not legal advice. That said, the answer to this question depends on what state you're in. In some states, like Kentucky, an adjudication is equal to a conviction. In other states, like Michigan and Virginia, which make "adjudication" and "conviction" legally different things (like for instance, a juvenile adjudication versus adult conviction) an adjudication is NOT a conviction. Federal law concurs. In a case where two men with juvenile records were arrested as "felons in possession" of firearms, US District courts rules that in states that make the distinction, a person adjudicated of a crime is NOT prohibited from possessing a firearm since they have not be convicted.
Is a person considered a convicted felon if they pleaded guilty and agreed to deferred adjudication?
Yes, a person who pleads guilty and agrees to deferred adjudication is generally considered a convicted felon, as the plea establishes a conviction. However, the deferred adjudication allows for the possibility of avoiding a formal conviction if the individual successfully completes the terms of their probation or court-imposed conditions. If they fulfill these requirements, the case can potentially be dismissed, and the individual may not have a conviction on their record. Nonetheless, during the period of deferred adjudication, they are often treated as having a conviction for various legal purposes.
Does Adjudication was withheld mean expungement?
No, adjudication withheld does not mean expungement. When adjudication is withheld, it means that the court has not entered a formal conviction but may still hold the case open under certain conditions, such as probation. Expungement, on the other hand, is a legal process that removes a conviction or arrest from a person's criminal record entirely. While adjudication withheld can sometimes lead to the possibility of expungement, they are distinct legal concepts.
