Violent conviction, term served via house arrest and probation complete in CA. This was 15 years ago, and the person hasn't been in trouble since... she was only 15 years old at the time of the crime.
What can she do to get this off her record?

Boy, what a lot of misinformation in a small space.
A person found to have committed an offense as a juvenile can petition to have the records sealed five years after juvenile jurisdiction has been terminated. (Welf. & Inst. Code sec. 781.) However, this relief is NOT available to juveniles found to have committed serious felony offenses, listed in Welf. & Inst. Code sec. 707(b)--which are, in general, "strike" offenses--at age 14 or older.
I'd need to know the exact statute found to have been violated to know whether the person is excluded from relief under section 781.

"In California, an Expungement is a legal process by which your entire criminal record is erased in the eyes of the law.
Your criminal record can be expunged of all eligible felony and misdemeanor charges. A petition to expunge your criminal record should be filed by a qualified criminal defense attorney. After you successfully expunge your record, felony and misdemeanor charges will be wiped from the slate, as if they never occurred."
I hope this helps you!

don't really know about CA, but in SC you cannot have a felony expunged off of your record. It is there for life. After you serve your probation time you can ask for a pardon from the Gov. but it still stays on your record.

First, was she tried as an adult, or a minor? If as a minor then it doesn't carry over to adult criminal history. Although in some job and political sectors it could be held against you. You can hire a lawyer that could go to the judge and prosecutor of the county where this happened. In Texas, you have to make an appeal to the Gov. for a pardon and get the records sealed and it helps more with the approval of the judge and prosecutor. I hope this helps. Records as a teen are sealed most usually.

Unless you were wrongly convicted, or have been PARDONED, your felony recond is permanent. If every convicted criminal could have their record expunged, they would be no sense in keeping criminal records.
