Can my felony charge be expunged?

Christopher John McCann
Answered by attorney Christopher John McCann
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Offices of Christopher J. McCann
You absolutely can have such a conviction removed from your record, once you are off probation, either because you completed it or asked the judge to terminate it early and it was granted. This procedure is actually a "dismissal" of the case under Penal Code section 1203.4. Sometimes it is referred to as an "expungement", though that is not an entirely accurate term. The conviction can still be used as a prior conviction in the future and would still be in your California Department of Justice records accessible to DA's and cops. You can generally deny the conviction to private employers, though there are several exceptions. Notable exceptions include federal, state and local government jobs, applications to be a peace officer and other license applications, and contracting with the California State Lottery. You should also try first to get it reduced to a misdemeanor (if this particular charge is one that can be) pursuant to Penal Code section 17(b) and then have it expunged. It is important to get a qualified attorney to review your particular case and determine how you can answer these questions to avoid being in more trouble or risk losing a job.

Can a non-US citizen convicted of murder be given the death penalty?

Thomas J. Ogas
Answered by attorney Thomas J. Ogas
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Thomas J. Ogas
If the crime happened in the USA, then the laws of the USA and courts have jurisdiction. The USA can punish that person citizenship does not really play a factor. But do note that the nation that the person is from can protest, or intervene diplomatically. Legally, their embassy should be notified that one of their citizens is being held, and told the legal basis for holding their citizen. Deportation would only happen after the non-citizen has served his punishment. If the punishment is death, then deportation is out of the question.
