Stupid questions: is a pardon/exungement the same thing?
When does the 5 year time limit begin? or when willl I be eligible?
Story line:
August 2002 - guilty of Felony Sentence: 2 years probation w/ fines. I never paid the fines and in May 2005 was picked up on a warrant for said violation of probation. The orginal sentence was discharged and maximum sentence was imposed of 4 yrs 8 months and pay the fines. I wasn't making the payments, was picked up Sept 2006 for said violation, probation was CLOSED, and sentenced to 90 days or pay the fines. I stayed in jail for 6 days until fines could be paid. So it's done now. Did the five year waiting time start the day I paid the fines and was released?
