Can a felony be removed?

Question

My brother has a felony for car theft. He was convicted years ago, 98 to be exact. Is there any way it can be taken off?

Answer 1

No. I think only misdemeanors can be expunged, even then it takes quite a bit.

Answer 2

In OH, a felony can be expunged but the person only has the one option so they'd best be sure they don't get in more trouble because any other arrests will stay with him until he dies.

He can go to Common Pleas Court with his ID (in case he files that day) and ask if he can do an expungement, what the requirements are and what it will cost to do so. Sometimes if the person has an extensive record, they won't allow expungements so you need to check with the courts in your area to see what the law says.

If he has any misdemeanor charges, he can to to the Clerk of Courts and ask about expungement procedures and costs. That also may depend on what kind of record the person has whether they will allow it or not.

Proper ID is considered a driver's license or a State ID or your birth certificate AND Social Security card and it doesn't hurt to take a couple of bills in your name with your current address to show your place of residence and that you live locally.

Answer 3

Its better then crazy glue are you kidding. Tell him he is not alone. In the United States of America there is 15 million people whom have been arrested and convicted for something and another 5 million just got arrested without conviction. From shop lifting to manipulating the stock market.

Answer 4

Wow! He's still living? Furthermore he still remembers it? (By the way, you don't have to include it in the geneology records if you don't wish to.)
Here's the way to have a clear record in the Eternal Highest Court of all in Heaven where there is a record kept. Yep, everyone's name is in that book and all we've ever done, right or wrong.
Repent of your sins and be made clean by the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. You will then have your name written in the Lamb's book of life and all your past sins will be cast into the sea of forgetfulness (which is somewhere behind God's back) and although man might remember it, God doesn't. We do reap what we sow either way. That natural law doesn't change but God is merciful and whom He loveth He chastens. He (your brother or a family member in his behalf) should make restitution if at all possible to the victim or family of the victims.
Some men's sins go before them to judgment and some men's follow after them. I would rather God judge mine now and forgive me of my sins than to have them come trailing along behind me when I died and God to say "Depart from me ye worker of iniquity; I never knew you". I would much rather hear "Enter in my child into the joys of the Lord. Well done thou good and faithful servant." Wouldn't you? Is your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life?

Answer 5

Yes, it can. It's called having it expunged or ratified. Certain states have different criteria for doing it though. In Pa ya have to be outta trouble a decade first. Check your local laws. Contacting a state rep would be a good place to start.

Answer 6

There are certain things you do in life which will forever be a part of you. Certain things just can't be overlooked or conveniently forgotten.

Answer 7

noope, not a felony.

Answer 8
